The start and stop device, designed to reduce car emissions, automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle stops and restarts it when moving again. If the user decides, as shown in this video, to disable it permanently rather than temporarily, they can connect a PC to the vehicle's OBD port and access the ECU, provided they have the necessary software; otherwise, a visit to the workshop is required.

It's quite simple; after the aforementioned connection, search for the vehicle model, select the start and stop option, and disable it.

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.
