In this video, we see how to replace the battery of a Volkswagen Passat B8 SW: it is located in the rear left part of the trunk, above the wheel well, covered by a plastic compartment that is easily removed. The location where we place it is fixed, so we must necessarily get the same type to ensure that it fits perfectly in its place.

Additionally, we must first disconnect the negative terminal, which is the black one, moving it as far away as possible from the connector to prevent accidental reconnection; then the positive terminal, which is the red one, and finally remove the battery from its housing in order to replace it with the new one, proceeding in reverse.

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.
