Video tutorial

In this video we can see how the Renault Twingo is able to recover kinetic energy: the vehicle is equipped with an automatic gearbox with regenerative braking, so it is possible to brake simply by lifting the foot off the accelerator; in fact, when decelerating, the electric motor applies resistance to the wheels, slowing down the vehicle and generating electricity to recharge the traction battery.

When the gear lever is in the "B" position, we are driving with regenerative braking, and we can also see it on the instrument panel.

This mode allows you to choose the braking force on three levels: B2 is the default selected position; for more effective regenerative braking, push the lever forward to position B3, while for a less energetic braking, push the lever back to position B1. With the lever in the B position, lifting the pedal off the brake causes the car to start moving forward, and with a little practice we can understand that we can drive just by pressing the accelerator; a perfect driving style for urban traffic.

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.
