If the service warning light (in the shape of a spanner) flashes on the instrument cluster display, it means it's time for maintenance. Once you have performed the regular maintenance by replacing the engine oil and the corresponding filter, you can proceed with resetting the Service light: this is a manual procedure that does not require diagnostic assistance and is carried out using the trip reset button.

Turn on the ignition and press the reset button twice until the service light appears, then hold it down until it disappears.

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.
