The instructions in this guide will show us how to activate and deactivate the Start&Stop system of the Ford Focus, in simple steps. First, we get on board the car and start the engine; normally we find the Start&Stop system always active at the first engine start and it will be possible to deactivate and activate it at any time through the button located next to the headlight switch, as shown in the video.

When the Start&Stop is in operation, we will see the appropriate indicator light on the instrument panel; conversely, the Start&Stop will be temporarily deactivated.

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.
