Open the bonnet and remove the plastic cover located directly above the engine: you need to disconnect the intake duct and the connecting hose to the mass air sensor; the engine air filter is contained within this cover: unscrew the fixing screws of the air filter housing cover and extract the old filter; ensure there are no dirt residues inside the housing and apply the new filter.

Proceed in reverse for reassembly.

A clean air filter will ensure the correct amount of air intake and a much smoother delivery.

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.
