The engine air filter housing (AIRBOX) is located just behind the battery, next to the rocker cover; therefore, unclip the metal tabs that secure the cover and lift it to remove the old filter. Ensure there are no impurities inside the filter box and remove them using a vacuum cleaner rather than compressed air to avoid them entering the intake duct.

Then, fit the new filter, positioning it correctly, and finally secure the cover by reattaching the metal tabs.

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.
