How to remove the airbag in the Volkswagen Polo?

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Airbag

In this tutorial, we can see how to disassemble the airbag in the Volkswagen Polo, a very simple and quick operation. First of all, let's make sure that the key is not inserted, then we open the hood and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid accidental airbag deployment. Next, we go inside the cabin, unclip the upper cover of the steering column with a plastic spatula, rotate the steering wheel 90 degrees, and using a flathead screwdriver, unclip the indicated securing clip. At this point, all that remains is to repeat the operation on the opposite side, remove the airbag from the steering wheel, and disconnect the connector.

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.
