Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to properly use an automatic transmission when we are in parking mode. In fact, we don't always know if we are following the correct procedure.

The car in the video is a Fiat 500X, but the basic concept is valid for all cars with this type of transmission. To park, first we must press the brake, then put the gear in "N", engage the handbrake and then go to "P"; now we can release the brake pedal and turn off the car. This is done to transfer the mechanical stress to the braking system, rather than to the transmission components.

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.
