Replacing the engine air filter on this car model is very easy since the filter housing (Air Box) is located right on the engine. Once you have opened and secured the front hood, unscrew the screws around the edge of the filter cover (the screws stay in place and do not come out), remove the cover, take out the old cylindrical filter, clean any dirt residue, and insert the new filter, ensuring the gasket fits perfectly before tightening the screws of the cover.

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.
