To unlock the automatic transmission of a Citroen C4 with the lever stuck in "P" there are two ways: we turn on the car with the ON contact, press the brake pedal all the way down, then look for the unlock button on the gear lever: usually it is a small button near the lever with the symbol of two arrows chasing each other, or with "shift lock" written on it. If it is not visible, it is located under the plastic cover near the lever.

Hold down the button and at the same time, move the lever from "P" to "N" or "D": otherwise turn off the car and pull the handbrake.

Find the mechanical release: near the gear lever we find a small hole (sometimes covered by a cap), insert a flathead screwdriver and press down, and while pressing move the lever from "P" to "N". Restart the car and change gear.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

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.
