Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Onboard computer

Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to temporarily deactivate the start & stop feature on various car models, and above all we are told what is the real, valid reason why it is necessary to deactivate this option on our car. This option is rightly communicated to us by a user who lives in the United Kingdom, where rainfall is abundant.

In fact, if you find yourself in the middle of a very heavy rain, with flooded ground, perhaps with a few centimeters of water, we certainly do not need the engine to stop, but rather, we need it to remain as cheerful as possible.

For example, in the Mini it is the button right in the center of the dashboard, on the BMW 5 Series it is right below the ignition button, while on the Audi Q1 it is in the center of the Dashboard. Generally, on each car, a message appears on the display warning that the function is deactivated.

When the car is restarted, the device will be available again.

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.
