How to Remove the Cabin Air Filter on a Volkswagen Up

Model: Volkswagen Up MK 1 - Years 2011-2024
Part: Cabin air filter

Learn how to remove the cabin air filter (pollen filter) on a Volkswagen Up. The cabin filter is located at the bottom right of the glove compartment. Use a plastic lever to detach the trim at the bottom left of the dashboard (plastic or fabric trim), remove the cap from the filter holder, then pull it out from its designated space. Insert a new cabin filter, ensuring it fits snugly around the walls of the box, and replace the cap of the filter box. Check the correct fitting of the previously installed parts.

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.
