The engine air filter housing (airbox) is located just behind the battery: disconnect the metal clips securing the cover to the filter housing and remove it from its position. Remove any dirt inside the filter box using a vacuum cleaner instead of compressed air, which could blow dirt into the intake manifold.

After cleaning, insert the new filter and reposition the cover, securing it with the clips. You may also opt for a sports filter, which not only provides better performance but also only needs cleaning instead of replacement.

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.
