To open the fuel flap of the Volkswagen Polo, unlock the car using the designated button on the remote: once all the door locks are released, apply light pressure to the left side of the flap. This will unlock the flap's lock, allowing you to access the fuel cap underneath.

You can now unscrew the cap to fill the tank; after refuelling, replace the cap and close the flap.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
