Open the hood and remove the plastic cover above the engine: the air filter container (air box) is located on the left side of the engine compartment (when facing the front), near the fender; detach the metal tabs securing the air box cover and lift it off by disconnecting the flexible connection with the intake air duct; remove the old filter (it is a cylindrical paper filter), clean any dirt from the filter box, and insert the new one by fitting it into its designated slot, then reinstall the cover (generally, it is not necessary to disassemble the duct).

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.
