Eco mode, better known as "start & stop", is a system that saves fuel by turning off the car's engine whenever it remains stationary for a certain number of seconds. Obviously, this mode can be deactivated but automatically reactivates every time the car is turned off and back on, so it needs to be deactivated each time.

Unfortunately, there is no system that keeps this function permanently deactivated. Fortunately, deactivation is very simple.

As shown in the video, you simply need to click on the icon depicting a car on the display and then switch the eco mode to OFF.

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.
