The pollen filter purifies the air in the cabin and is located under the passenger glove compartment. Obtain a pollen filter identical to the original model, and to access it, you need to remove the two internal side clips from the glove box and unclip the flap.

The filter is located in the compartment behind the flap. Once the filter cover is removed, take out the filter by pulling it gently outward to avoid dispersing dust.

To collect the dirt, place a cloth at the bottom. Reinsert the new filter into its housing and close the cover carefully.

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.
