Open the bonnet and prop it up with the support rod. First, disconnect the negative terminal, which is on your right (facing the cabin), and then disconnect the positive terminal by lifting the clip (secure the cable with insulating tape for safety).

Release the plastic fastener located at the bottom of the battery by working on the clips with a small flat-head screwdriver.

Once this is done, the battery is free and can be removed: grip it by the handles and pull upwards. To install the new battery, simply reverse the process.

Check that the car starts correctly.

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.
