The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, behind the glove compartment: to access it, open the glove compartment door, unclip the side limiters to fully tilt it down and reach the air duct; at this point, remove the cap from the filter container and extract the old filter, ensuring there are no dirt residues, and insert the new one (preferably activated carbon) following the airflow direction indicated on the filter with arrows.

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.
