Removing the Cigarette Lighter Fuse on VW Passat

Model: Volkswagen Passat B6, 3C - Years 2005-2010
Part: Fuse box

Is the cigarette lighter on your VW Passat not working? Here’s how to change the fuse. Open the door and enter inside. Use a plastic lever to remove the trim located on the left side of the dashboard, then remove the cover of the fuse box. Use pliers to pull out the damaged fuses from the compartment. After this, insert the new fuses into the appropriate slots in the compartment. Close the fuse inspection box with the cover. Test if the cigarette lighter works (turn on the ignition with the appropriate key).

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.
