Removing the battery is extremely simple and does not require special precautions other than noting any activation codes, such as that for the car radio, and avoiding leaving the keys in the car as it may lock unexpectedly. With that said, once you open the front bonnet, the battery is located just behind the driver's side headlamp.

Loosen the fastening bolts of the terminals, remove them, and take off the fastening plate located at the bottom of the battery. Before proceeding with the installation of the new battery, clean the terminals thoroughly with a wire brush and apply grease to prevent oxidation.

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.
