This video highlights a crucial point that many car owners overlook. In this case, it concerns a Citroen C3, but it is applicable to all cars.

The grille under the windscreen - the area where the edge of the bonnet rests - is a critical point for engine cleanliness. Leaves and debris block the drainage channels, preventing rainwater from flowing away.

Residues can enter the ventilation system, compromising the cabin air filter and the air quality inside the car. Standing water can cause rust and electrical damage, and in extreme cases, this dirt can damage the radiator fan. Check it after parking under trees, especially in autumn, and before summer, in preparation for using the air conditioning.

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.
