Video tutorial

In this video, we see how to change the daytime running light bulb in a Volkswagen Transporter T5. Accessing the bulbs is very simple, as we have plenty of space inside the front hood. The headlight, inside, is covered by a large black rubber cap: simply remove it to reach the bulbs.

There are two: the upper one is for the turn signal, while the lower one is for the daytime running light. We will twist the bulb holder counterclockwise, while pressing it slightly.

Change the bulb, remembering not to touch the new one with bare hands: this will increase its lifespan. Put it back in place by twisting it clockwise and pressing it lightly.

We can put the rubber cap back on. Operation completed.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
