On the Dacia Sandero 2024, the Start/Stop function can be disabled either temporarily or permanently. For the first procedure: with the engine running, locate the Start/Stop button on the central dashboard; pressing it will turn off the system, and the corresponding light on the instrument panel will illuminate, confirming the deactivation.

The function remains inactive only for that engine start: upon the next restart, Start/Stop will reactivate automatically. For the second procedure, disconnect the dedicated module in the engine bay. With the engine off and the battery disconnected, locate the Start/Stop connector, usually near the battery or the throttle body, and disconnect it.

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.
