How to use the analog tachograph.

Part: Checks and maintenance

Video tutorial

In this video, we will see how to use an analog tachograph. Let's proceed by imagining a workday that starts at six o'clock: we need to declare what we did from midnight to six on our disc by placing a strip on the pause symbol on the back of the disc.

We fill it out with our name and surname, location, departure date, vehicle license plate, and starting kilometers (all clearly legible). We insert the disc into the tachograph and drive for 4 hours, after which we return to the parking lot, go home, and resume work at noon.

We need to close the disc by recording the location and arrival date, arrival kilometers, and the difference in kilometers. At noon, we manually declare what we did from 10 to noon on the back of the disc, where we will also include the vehicle license plate, kilometers, and departure time, and we insert the disc into the vehicle.

We drive for two hours, then return to the parking lot, where we perform maintenance activities, so we record the arrival kilometers, the difference in kilometers, and then indicate our work activity on the grid of the disc, followed by indicating that we are going back on break.

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.
