In this tutorial, you will see how to remove the tailgate panel on a Volkswagen Passat, a very simple and quick operation. First, open the tailgate itself, then locate the two small side covers and unclip them.

Next, remove the emergency triangle and, using a Torx screwdriver, unscrew the four screws that have been exposed. At this point, grasp the panel, pull it down firmly, and separate it from the tailgate.

To fit a replacement, simply follow the reverse procedure.

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.
