Video tutorial

Let's see in this video how to reset a car's computer in case there has been a problem that requires it. First, we turn on the ignition, then we go to the front of the car and open the hood, and disconnect the negative cable. This will require having the radio code handy to restart it after we reconnect the battery.

The YouTuber shows us a strange procedure, but he must have tested it. With the negative cable, he presses five times on the negative terminal of the battery. Then he reconnects the cable, turns off the ignition - which was on - inside the car, restarts the vehicle, and the onboard computer should be reset.

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.
