How to Remove the Airbag from a Volkswagen Polo

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

Before starting, sit in the driver's seat of your Volkswagen Polo. Begin by unclipping and removing the upper cover of the steering column. Next, rotate the steering wheel ninety degrees to the left. This will expose the rear screws that secure the airbag to the steering wheel, which you need to unscrew and remove. Once the rear screws are removed, gently pull the airbag away from its housing to access the airbag connector, which you must disconnect. After completing this step, you can finally remove the airbag, successfully finishing the disassembly.

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.
