One could define a generic video tutorial, given the topic discussed, even though the example was specifically done on a third-generation Toyota Tacoma. The issue at hand is the spring that allows, through a button, the impulse to open the central locking or start the engine, so let's see how to solve this issue: After opening the remote control case, you need to locate the spring and extract it with tweezers from its seat, simply readjusting its position, as over time and constant use, it tends to lose elasticity.

All that's left is to put it back in place and test it.

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.
