The cabin air filter is located just behind the centre tunnel, and to replace it, you do not need to disassemble anything. Access it from the passenger side and locate the cabin air filter housing, remove the protective cap, and extract the old filter.

Ensure there are no dirt residues inside the filter housing and insert the new one (it is recommended to use an activated carbon filter) orienting it according to the direction of the airflow. After the replacement, it is advisable to also sanitise the cabin with a suitable germicidal spray.

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.
