You can manually reset the SERVICE message light. It is recommended to first carry out regular maintenance, such as replacing the engine oil and the corresponding filter, before proceeding with the reset of the light.

This reset is done using the trip reset button. Press and hold the trip reset button and turn on the ignition: the service light will appear and after a single flash, it will disappear; then turn off the ignition and check that the light remains off upon the next ignition.

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.
