What are the essential things to know about the maintenance of the Fiat Tipo MultiJet 1.3? There are two important lights: the service light, which comes on every 20,000 miles or one year. After the service, you can reset it manually, but if you don't, it resets itself after about a week.

The oil life light comes on when there is diesel in the engine oil, and it also comes on at 30,000 miles. It does not measure the quantity of oil but its contamination.

Maintenance should be performed every 30,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. Filters have different intervals: the fuel filter every 60,000 miles; the air filter every 40,000 miles; the cabin filter every 15,000 to 20,000 miles.

Do not change all filters every 20,000 miles, as it is a waste; do not wait more than a year to change the oil: do not neglect your car; remember that your enemy is diesel ending up in the oil, which happens to those who drive only in the city.

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.
