This is not an anomaly, but rather a safeguard for the power supply battery. The purpose is to protect us from the unexpected situation of suddenly finding the aforementioned battery completely discharged, and therefore unable to start the engine.

We are limited in some operations, such as using the radio, air conditioning, and more, unless this mode is deactivated as explained here: turn on the instrument panel, enter the Settings Menu, select Preferences, Energy Saving, and finally Exit Energy Saving.

Done, now we will have all the aforementioned disabled functions available again.

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.
