Video tutorial

This video explains the technical operation of opening and closing the fuel filler cap. With the ignition on, the fuel cap, or rather the fuel filler flap, is open and accessible. When attempting to turn off the ignition mentioned above and then lock the car with the key, it is assumed that the fuel flap, like the car doors, is closed, but this is not the case; in fact, it remains open.

Ultimately, you can access the fuel tank whether the car is locked or unlocked.

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.
