Five Things Not to Do with an Automated Manual Transmission

Model: (Various brands) Various

Video tutorial

Here is a list of five things not to do with an automated manual transmission. First, avoid driving short distances in traffic jams; starting and stopping continuously accelerates clutch wear.

Second, do not keep the car stationary on an incline using the accelerator pedal, as this increases the load on the clutch group, leading to wear; use the brake pedal instead. Third, do not neglect maintenance of the AMT or delay it for too long.

Fourth, avoid sudden starts, as this behaviour causes not only wear on the function but also on the gearbox. Finally, fifth, avoid wheel slip.

It can happen on steep or uneven roads that the wheels may slip; in these cases, the AMT shifts from a higher gear to a lower one. Therefore, try to drive as little as possible in these situations.

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.
