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 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.
