Inside the glove compartment located in the center console, just behind the ashtray, you can install a useful accessory: the cup holder. It is a bracket designed to hold two cups, but it is advisable that the cups have lids; otherwise, the contents may spill at the first bump.

This holder features a retractable mechanism that is quite intricate. By pressing in the center, it rises from the glove compartment and simultaneously rotates to position itself.

To close it, simply press down again until it locks into place at the bottom of the compartment.

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.
