In the Jeep Compass produced from 2021 onwards, the instrument panel lighting is too low, especially in daylight conditions, and the brightness sensor, which should automatically adjust the brightness, stops working; in fact, the "daytime brightness adjustment" appears to be disabled.

This is a software issue, a bug in the system that manages the instrumentation.

The video shows a forced electronic reset, which temporarily resolves the issue (until the next software update or when the bug reappears). Let's open the hood, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, and leave it disconnected for 30/60 seconds.

Reconnect the negative terminal and turn on the car. Now the lighting should work normally.

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.
