The clock in this model of car is integrated into the left dial of the instrument cluster, where the rev counter is located: the clock display is at the bottom, centre of the rev counter; the crown around the rev counter itself, which appears secured by screws, conceals the button for adjusting the clock: the fake screw located at the bottom right, at around 5:25, is actually the button for clock adjustment.

Use a small screwdriver or the tip of the key to press this button and make the adjustment.

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.
