To safely lift the vehicle with a jack without causing damage and to avoid the lifting point giving way with serious consequences, it is essential to follow certain precautions. Firstly, there are specific reinforcement ribs beneath the vehicle where the jack can be applied safely, as they are shaped to ensure full support and bear the weight of the vehicle.

Similarly, other support points can be used, such as the engine cradle cross member or the differential plate. In any case, if working underneath the vehicle, always use appropriate axle stands and do not rely solely on the jack.

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.
