Part: Airbag

Today we will see the instructions that will allow us to deactivate the front passenger airbag of the Volkswagen Tiguan, in case of presence of a child seat. First of all, we get into the cabin and start opening the glove compartment; then we rotate the airbag cylinder to "off", inserting the ignition key, as shown in the video. At this point we will have correctly deactivated the front passenger airbag; to reactivate it, simply rotate the cylinder to "on" with the physical key. The front passenger airbag can be activated and deactivated at any time.

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.
