What is the INSP Light and How to Reset it in a Polo?

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo VI, Polo 6, MK 6, AW1, MK VI - Years 2017-2025
Part: Warning light – error code

The INSP light in a Volkswagen Polo is represented by a yellow spanner indicating that it is time for a service. Many wonder how to reset it, and here’s how to do it. You can either carry out the service to turn it off or reset it manually. With the ignition on, press the button located to the left of the dashboard. After about 5 seconds, all the lights will illuminate. Wait another 5 seconds, release it, and turn it to the right. The spanner symbol, i.e., the INSP symbol, will now disappear. Proceed by turning off the ignition, removing the key, and trying to start the car again.

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.
