Opening the bonnet in case of a broken release cable is not particularly difficult but requires some skill. First, check if the cable is actually broken or just loose.

If it is broken, use a metal hook as shown in the video to operate the bonnet latch. Insert the metal hook (it should be thin but sturdy) into the gap at the front of the bonnet until it catches the release cable.

Then, pull towards you until you feel the bonnet unlock. The bonnet latch is typically located centrally in the engine bay, corresponding to the Ford logo.

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.
