The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, just behind the glove compartment door: to access it, you need to open the glove compartment and remove the end stops to fully swing it down; once you reach the air duct, remove the protective cap from the filter housing, extract the old filter, clean any dirt residue, and insert the new filter (activated carbon type is recommended) ensuring the airflow direction indicated by the arrows on the filter itself is respected.

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.
