The cabin air filter purifies the air inside the cabin and is located under the passenger side glove compartment. Obtain a cabin air filter that is identical to the original model.

To access it, detach the passenger side panel and move the covering. Using a ratchet with a Torx bit, unscrew the screws securing the filter cover located under the glove compartment.

After removing the filter cover, take out the filter by pulling it gently outward to avoid dust dispersal. Place a cloth on the bottom to catch any dirt.

Carefully reinstall the new filter in the housing and close the cover.

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.
