If pressing the unlock or lock button on the remote key does nothing, it is very likely that the battery has run out; replacing it is straightforward as it involves opening the shell of the remote key (there is usually a small groove that serves as an invitation to insert a small screwdriver to lever it open), removing the old battery, cleaning the contacts, and inserting the new one; if you have two keys, it is advisable to replace both batteries: these are circular 3 Volt batteries, but the thickness may vary.

The one in question is a CR2032.

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.
