Before replacing the cabin air filter in the Hyundai Tucson, position the vehicle on a flat surface or on a ramp. This ensures you can work safely and stably.

This precaution should be taken whenever performing maintenance on any vehicle. Now, to access the cabin air filter housing, remove the glove compartment located on the passenger side.

Open the glove compartment, unscrew the two large screws on the inner sides, and detach the piston on the outer right side. This gives you access to the filter housing.

Release the clips on the left side, open it, and replace the old filter with the new one (ensuring it is inserted in the correct orientation). Reassemble everything, and you're done!
