How to open the trunk of a Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we see how we can open the trunk of a Volkswagen Golf that is stuck from the inside. We open the rear door and pull down the backrest of the rear seat, so that we can crawl to the inside of the tailgate. Here we find in the center, a kind of key that we must turn in order to open a small door where the internal lock is located; it will be enough to turn it with the key with which we start the car ignition, to open the tailgate from the inside. Of course, now we will have to have the external lock checked: this is an emergency opening.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
