Video tutorial

To dismantle the instrument cluster of the Volvo 740, first remove the black plastic trim. To do this, insert a metal tab like the one shown in the video into the gap at the side to release the clip holding the trim in place and pull the trim forward.

This operation must be performed on both sides of the trim. Once the trim is removed, unscrew the screws that secure the instrument cluster.

Now the instrument cluster is only held by the electrical cables, but it is free enough to access the back and remove the illumination bulbs.

How to Adjust the Rear Seats of the BMW X1

In this video, see how the BMW X1's cargo area can be used to transport large loads. To expand this area, the rear seat can be folded down with a 40/20/40 split, each section can be folded separately or all together. The seats can be adjusted independently to provide more space for passengers or cargo: to do this, pull the handle located at the bottom and push or pull as needed. To position the backrest in the desired position, there is a cordura handle on the left side. Inside the trunk, there are buttons that automatically fold the backrests of the rear seats forward, but only after ensuring they are clear. They can be returned to an upright position manually using the cordura handle.
