The cabin air filter housing is located in the engine bay, just below the windscreen. Open the front bonnet, remove the rear seal and the plastic cover immediately below the windscreen (it is simply clipped in, so just pull it upwards).

Disconnect and then remove the old filter by unfastening the clips around the frame. Ensure that there are no debris in the filter housing and insert the new filter, respecting the airflow direction.

Reattach the fixing frame, the plastic cover, and the seal.

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.
