Once the bonnet is open, remove the plastic cover on the engine and unscrew the fixing screws of the engine air filter housing cover. Lift it and extract the old filter; ensure there are no dirt residues in the filter box and insert the new one, ensuring the seals adhere well to the edges before refitting the cover.

The cabin air filter is located just below the windscreen, behind the strut dome: extract the old filter and insert the new one, respecting the direction of the airflow. Finally, move on to the diesel filter by draining the bowl through the designated drain screw (use a hose to direct the diesel into a container); then disconnect the inlet and outlet pipes, unscrew the cap by turning it 90°, and extract the old filter.

Insert the new filter and the new cap seal, then reassemble everything, leaving the drain cap slightly loose to allow air to escape during the first starting attempts until the filter is filled.

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.
