Open the glove compartment located in front of the front passenger seat and to remove it, press on the sides and pull down to extract it. Now remove the two screws indicated in the video, take off the black sponge panel covering the filter cover, and rotate the plastic screw in the centre a quarter turn to remove the two filter covers.

Now simply extract the old filter and insert the new one, ensuring it is positioned in the same direction as the old one, which should be indicated on the side of the filter.

Follow the steps in reverse for reassembly.

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.
