If the vehicle's battery is flat, you can manually close the doors by directly activating the locks. The driver's door handle has a lock that can be closed with the key. For the other doors, follow these steps: once the door is open, locate the keyhole inside the lock, insert the key into this slot to engage the lock; then close the door and check that it is secure.

Repeat the same process for the other three doors.

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.
