The cabin air filter housing is located in the engine compartment, along the left edge when viewed from the front: once you open the hood, locate the cabin air filter housing, unclip the metal bar that serves as the cover latch, and lift it to remove the old filter; remove any dirt residue from inside the filter box and insert the new one, ensuring the correct airflow direction; then reposition the cover and close it securely by snapping the bar back in place.

It is always helpful, when replacing the cabin filter, to also sanitize the cabin with a germicidal spray.

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.
