The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, just behind the glove compartment: to access and replace it, you need to open the glove compartment door, remove the plastic stops that act as end stops to fully tilt it and reach the air duct; at this point, remove the cover of the cabin air filter container, extract the old filter, remove any dirt residue present, and insert the new filter (activated carbon type is recommended) following the airflow direction indicated by the arrows on the filter itself.

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.
