How to reset the 8" or 12.3" multimedia screen of a Kia vehicle

Model: Kia KIA Various
Part: Onboard computer

Video tutorial

In this video, you can see how to reset the multimedia screen of a Kia vehicle, whether it is the 8" screen or the 12.3" one. As with any computer, when an error occurs, a reset may be needed. Now, using the Kia pen, go near the volume knob, where you will find the tiny reset button, which can be accessed using the pen. Press it for about 10 seconds, and you will see a timer on the dedicated application on your smartphone.

This system does not delete anything; it simply performs a hard reset. On the 8" screen, the reset button is not in the same place; it is located on the side, above the tuning knob, but the system will be exactly the same.

This will be enough to restore everything to normal.

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.
