The first step is to remove the plastic cover of the glove compartment located on the centre tunnel, just behind the gear lever: simply pull and detach it. Next, use a plastic lever to detach the cover of the centre console (if necessary, move the gear lever to facilitate the extraction process) disconnecting the connectors attached to the controls present.

At this point, detach the plastic glove compartment located in the centre of the dashboard, just above the car radio, and remove the securing screws present.

Then detach the central part of the console (the part around the car radio that contains the two side air vents and the climate control buttons) and rest it on the centre tunnel (protecting it with a cloth). Now unscrew the 4 securing screws of the car radio support and extract it from its housing.

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.
