The Volkswagen ID 4 is an electric vehicle powered by batteries that must be charged from the mains via an external socket covered by a flap. The opening and closing mechanism of this flap is exposed to the elements and may become jammed, making charging operations difficult.

If this issue occurs, obtain a very thin plastic lever; an old credit card will also suffice. Insert it between the edge of the flap and the bodywork, on the side near the headlamp, slide it upwards while prying outwards to unlock 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.
