If you need to perform a fault memory check with a diagnostic tool, the first step is to locate the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) socket: almost all diagnostic tools, once the make and model of the vehicle are selected, indicate the position of the OBD socket within the cabin; in this vehicle, the socket is located behind a small cover situated at the bottom left of the dashboard on the driver's side, just next to the bonnet release lever: simply open this cover to access the socket and connect the diagnostic interface.

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.
