The cabin air filter is located under the front hood, on the passenger side, just below the windshield. Once you open the hood, remove the plastic cover of the battery compartment and the cover of the cabin air filter housing; then extract the old filter, clean the filter housing thoroughly, and install the new one, ensuring the correct airflow direction; finally, reinstall the covers that were removed.

It can be very helpful, after replacing the filter, to sanitize the cabin using a special spray that eliminates bacteria and bad odors.

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.
