Replace the timing belt on a Chevrolet Matiz. Lift the bonnet, remove the soundproofing panel from the engine and the timing belt cover (if necessary, remove the front bumper).

Using a suitable spanner, loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off its seat. After fitting the new belt, use the spanner to tension the tensioner pulley until the correct tension on the belt (previously fitted) is achieved.

Finally, check the tensioner and the belt itself, and tighten all previously removed components with a socket wrench.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
