Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how the start & stop system works in the Jeep Renegade with automatic transmission. By default, the start & stop system is active at every start and can be deactivated, if desired, using the button at the base of the gearbox.

The system will not operate immediately but will activate once the engine reaches the correct operating temperature. Each time you stop for more than 3 seconds, the car will automatically turn off (if you have a manual gearbox, this will only happen if the car is in neutral), and it will restart with a simple press of the accelerator.

It is advisable to deactivate it when driving in heavy traffic to avoid overloading the starter motor and battery.

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.
