In this video, we will see what to do if, when getting into the car, our vehicle does not recognize the key with which we entered. Remove the rubber mat from the cup holder or the storage compartment, and place the key there.

This is a common issue with Ford vehicles, and at this point, the car should recognize the key and allow us to start it. Another more empirical method is to, once inside the car, open and close the doors using the remote control button. At that point, the car should recognize the key and start without any issues.

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.
