In this video, the procedure for dismantling the dashboard of the Volvo 850, which is similar to the Volvo 740, is demonstrated. First, remove the air vents from the dashboard, behind which you will find the first screws to remove.

Next, remove the screws in the glove compartment and along the entire frame of the instrument cluster. Finally, remove the dashboard cover first, followed by the entire front section.

If desired, you can complete the job by releasing the two metal clips of the instrument cluster and sliding it out of its housing.

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.
