Replacing Cabin Pollen Filter

Model: Volkswagen Passat 3BG, B5 - Years 1996-2005
Part: Cabin air filter

The pollen filter purifies the air in the cabin and is located in the engine compartment under the windscreen. To replace it, obtain a pollen filter of the same model identical to the original. The replacement begins with removing the air grille and the protective cover by freeing it from the rubber seal. Move the cover by lifting it, then rotate the two side hooks and remove the filter cover. Carefully pull out the cartridge from its housing to avoid dust dispersal. Reinsert the new filter into the housing after cleaning it thoroughly and ensuring correct orientation, then securely close the cover.

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.
