How do you install snow chains

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Snow chains

Video tutorial

How do you mount snow chains if you don't have winter tires? Lay the chains on the ground near the wheel, making sure they are not twisted, and pass them under the tire, centering them well. Connect the two main hooks on the top of the tread (outer side of the wheel); make sure the chain adheres evenly to the tire.

Attach the side straps (if present) to distribute the tension evenly. Pull the tension joints (which are usually elastic hooks or lever tensioners) until you achieve a uniform tension on the entire wheel.

Check that the chain is tight and not hanging. Make sure it does not touch brakes, fenders, or mechanical parts.

Drive a few meters and then stop for a final tension check. If necessary, tighten; in fact, chains tend to loosen in the first few meters of driving.

The chains (mounted on the drive wheels!) should be removed as soon as they are no longer needed and rinsed with water to remove salt and gravel. They should then be dried before storing them to prevent rusting.

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.
