Replacing the remote battery of the Hyundai Santa Fe is very simple. You will need a small flat-head screwdriver and a replacement CR2032 battery.

Start by extracting the emergency metal key, then insert the screwdriver tip into the indicated slot and, prying it open, separate the remote into two parts. Remove the old battery using the screwdriver and insert the new one, ensuring the positive terminal is facing downwards.

Finally, reassemble everything by following the reverse procedure.

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.
