The engine air filter of your car plays a crucial role. The engine air filter is a component of your car's fuel system and serves to filter and clean the air drawn in from outside and delivered to the combustion chamber.

The composition of the filter varies based on the type, but generally consists of two parts: a solid part, usually a casing or structure (which supports the filtering part) and a filtering part made of filter material such as sponges, cloths, or fabrics.

The filter should be changed every year or after 15,000-20,000 miles.

The filter is housed in a box called the airbox, near the engine.

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.
