The YouTuber guides us on how to open a Genesis G80 that has been locked due to a dead battery. We extract the emergency key from the remote, remove the lock cover from the driver's door, and use the lock and physical key to open the door.

How to open the trunk to access the battery? In fact, the trunk has an electronic opening that will not work. We go to the back of the car, to the central area of the hatch, just above the license plate.

We will find a hidden lock (similar to the door lock) that we will open with the same mechanical key we used to enter the car. Now let's lift the cargo floor. The battery is located in the spare tire area; if we need to connect a booster, first attach the positive clamp to the positive terminal of the battery, then the negative clamp to a metal ground point on the car's frame.

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.
