In this video, learn how to use the automatic gearbox of the Ford Focus MK4. Remember that the automatic gearbox does not have a clutch pedal; any manoeuvre with the gear lever requires you to press the brake, which is displayed on the screen. Below the lever, there is a button that acts like a "clutch". So: foot on the brake, press the button, and pull the gear lever to the "D" position for "Drive". Releasing the brake will start the car. To stop, with your foot still on the brake, shift to "P" for "Parking". Follow the same procedure for reverse by shifting to "R"; releasing the brake will make the vehicle reverse. "N" stands for neutral, so the car will not move. "S" is the "sport" mode, and you can use the sequential shift located on the left side of the gearbox.

If the selector is not in "P", the key will not come out of the ignition.

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.
