In this tutorial, we can see how to adjust the handbrake in the Hyundai Tucson, a very simple and quick operation. First of all, we park the vehicle on a flat surface with the first gear engaged, then we open the glove compartment located under the armrest and remove the small panel at the bottom.

We then locate the adjustment nut, screw it using a long 13mm socket wrench, and reach the ideal tension level. At this point, all that's left is to test the new adjustment on a suitable road.

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.
