Video tutorial

Open the bonnet and prop it up with the support rod. You can see in the video that the lambda sensor connector is located beneath the various ducts in the bonnet, to your left (facing the cabin). As it is a simple connector, you can disconnect it immediately.

Raise the car with a jack or ramp for better access from underneath. Loosen the nut securing the lambda sensor, which is the oxygen sensor, and remove it. Now completely unscrew the large nut and insert the sensor, then screw it in place.

Lower the car and reconnect the connector.

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.
