How to deactivate and activate the door lock of the Volkswagen Passat

Model: Volkswagen Passat B7 - Years 2010-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance

The following steps will show us how to activate and deactivate the door locking system of the Volkswagen Passat; on some models, automatic locking is activated once a certain speed is reached. First of all, we get into the car and make sure all the doors are closed; on the driver's side door panel, next to the door handle, we find the two buttons for opening and closing the doors, as shown in the video. At this point, we use the closing button to close all the doors, including the rear hatch; we unlock all the locks by pressing the opening button instead.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Light on the Opel Grandland X

While driving, if you notice the tyre pressure warning light coming on, first check the actual inflation pressure of the tyres and, if necessary, restore the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. After restoring the correct pressures, you need to reset the warning light that has illuminated on the instrument cluster. To do this, locate the reset button on the lower central console. Press this button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds, after which the low pressure indication will turn off.
