The cabin air filter is located inside the cabin, on the passenger side, just behind the glove compartment. Open the glove compartment and unclip the cover: there is a side tab that also acts as a stop guide attached to a pin on the cover; simply widen the tab slightly to unclip it and remove the cover.

At this point, the filter housing is immediately visible: remove the old filter and insert the new one, ensuring the airflow direction is correct after cleaning the housing of any debris. Finally, reattach 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.
