Video tutorial

In this video, we see how to deactivate the Start & Stop system on the Opel Grandland X: we need an updated DiagBox, a compatible Lexia/PT-COM cable, a Windows PC, and an OBD2 port. The car's battery must be fully charged to avoid voltage fluctuations, and all electronic systems must be turned off. Turn on the ignition, connect to the OBD port with DiagBox, and start the software.

Identify the model/year/engine. Access the "ECU BSI" section and navigate to "configuration" and then "engine management". Inside, look for the "Stop&start function" parameter (or "eco mode"). Change the value from "active" to "inactive" and confirm with "write" (or "program"). Perform a "Reset ECU" from the "maintenance" menu to clear the learning memories.

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.
