Video tutorial

Let's see how to program the charging of the Cupra Formentor's traction battery: access the menu from the infotainment system: go to E-manager, where you will find: departure, temperature (climate control) settings. Go to Scheduling/Departure, where you can activate up to 3 programmes (for example, weekday or weekend).

Set the departure time (not the charging start time) so that the car is ready at that hour. Select the days (for example, Monday to Friday) and activate 'repeat' to make them recurring.

Choose whether you want 'charging' only, 'climate control' only (warm or cool car), or both. The climate control when the vehicle is stationary heats or cools the car before departure, which is particularly useful in winter.

You can also activate 'defrosting' and, if available, 'heated seats'. If the battery drops below 20% and the car is connected, it will start charging, regardless of whether it was programmed or not. All settings can be modified via the Cupra Connect app. As the video states, it makes no sense to have a hybrid vehicle if you always drive with a flat battery.

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.
