If the air conditioning is turned on and the air coming out is not cold enough, it is likely that there is insufficient gas in the system and it needs to be topped up: there are canisters available that allow you to perform this refill. Connect the canister to the intake port, start the engine and the air conditioning, and open the valve on the canister to introduce the gas: if the canister has a pressure gauge, wait for the needle to settle in the yellow zone; otherwise, check that the air coming from the vents is sufficiently cold.

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.
