What to do if the red light on the Twingo is flashing and the car won't start? We will see it in this video. Insert the key into the ignition without turning it, and hold down the unlock button on the remote (the one that opens the doors).

While holding the button, turn the key to the ignition position (the one where the dashboard lights up), but do not start the engine. Continue to hold for ten seconds, then release the button: turn off and return to "0", then remove the key from the ignition.

Wait another ten seconds, reinsert the key, and try to start normally.

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.
