The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, behind the glove compartment, which must be removed. Open the glove compartment door and unscrew the fixing screws of the compartment itself; detach the support cable of the flap to tilt it and access the other fixing screws.

Once the compartment is removed, you can see the air duct and the cover of the filter housing: remove the cover and extract the old filter, then insert the new one, ensuring the airflow direction is correct. Reassemble everything in reverse order.

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.
