To activate the Start&Stop on a Ford Focus, turn on the instrument panel and use the button located on the centre console next to the gear lever. Pressing the button with an A inside a circle will activate the Start&Stop, which will be active when the light on the button is illuminated.

Conversely, it can be deactivated by pressing the button again, and the indicator light will turn off automatically. To permanently disable the Start&Stop, you will need to connect a diagnostic tool to the car's OBD port.

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.
