On the Hyundai Atos, the replacement of the drive belts follows the order shown in the video. With the engine off and the vehicle secured, check the belt's path on the pulleys and loosen the tension by adjusting the tensioner or the adjustment screw of the accessory (alternator/steering pump/air conditioning) highlighted in the images.

Once the tension is released, the belt can be removed from the grooves; compare it with the replacement part (number of grooves and length) and pre-position the new belt following the correct visible path. Restore the tension using the same screw/adjustment, ensuring that the belt sits in all the grooves without twists.

At the end of the installation, manually rotate the accessory for a check and briefly start the engine to confirm alignment and the absence of noise; finally, perform a final tension check after a few minutes of operation.

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.
