Regular maintenance of the vehicle ensures a long life and prevents breakdowns. The checks that every driver can perform are simple yet important.

Lift the vehicle with appropriate jacks and secure it with suitable supports to prevent it from falling. Next, check the transmission components, brakes, supports, and anything that may affect the vehicle's safety.

A slightly more involved task is checking the brake pads, as it requires removing the wheels for inspection. Also, check the wear of various belts, which should not show fraying or cuts.

Especially in winter, check the battery condition, ensuring there are no 'blooming' on the contacts; if so, remove the terminals and clean the poles thoroughly.

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.
