Bypassing the key coding on the Renault Clio that "immobilises" the vehicle is relatively simple. If you try to start the car without the coding, you will see (as illustrated in the images) that the car does not start.

To bypass this issue, turn the key, inserted in the ignition, to the off position, then turn it back to the position just before starting the engine. At this point, press and hold the unlock button on the key and turn it to the intermediate position between off and the previous position.

While still holding the button, turn the key back to the position just before ignition and you're done. The car will start as shown in the video.

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.
