The passenger airbag on a Citroen C3 vehicle must be deactivated when a child seat is installed on the passenger seat. On 2021 models, to perform this operation, we must board the vehicle and keep the instrument panel off. We open the passenger glove box and remove the small cover at the top to access the key for deactivating or activating the airbag.

We insert the car key into the lock and move the lever mode to OFF. By following these steps, the airbag will be deactivated. To activate it, we must perform the same steps but move the lever to ON.

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.
