Removing and replacing the battery in an Opel key is really straightforward, and now you will see how to do it. You will only need a small flat screwdriver (instead of a knife as shown in the video) to pry in the side slot of the key casing. This will allow you to remove the cover of the key and access the CR2032 3 Volt battery.

Extract it using the small flat screwdriver again. Insert the new battery and close the cover by simply pressing it down with your hand.

Check that the key is functioning correctly.

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.
