How to mount snow chains

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Snow chains

Video tutorial

In this video we see how to mount snow chains, which are mandatory on many roads as equipment to keep in the car (or the mounting of winter or M+S tires); but we need to know how to use them, in case of necessity. First of all, we need to check in the user manual if our car can mount them: in fact, many modern cars are "not chainable" due to the many sensors mounted on the front wheels, which normal chains could damage.

However, there are thinner chains, made specifically for these cars. Let's learn how to mount them, to avoid finding ourselves in difficulty when needed: the chains must be mounted on the driving wheels: pass the rigid arch behind the tire and hook it inside, then pass the tensioning chain from the outside and lock the clip.

Driving with chains requires moderate speed, and after a couple of kilometers we should stop to check that the tension of the chains is correct. Do not drive with chains if the asphalt is free of snow or ice.

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.
