Filter Replacement

The air filter element can be cleaned with compressed air for inspection.

Do not attempt to wash or rinse it, as water may damage the filter. If contaminated, the air cleaner filter must be replaced.

1. Loosen the air cleaner cover clamps and open the cover.

2. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner.

3. Replace the air filter element.

4. Secure the cover with the cover mounting clips.

Replace the filter in accordance with the maintenance schedule.

✽ NOTICE

If the vehicle is operated in very dusty or sandy areas, replace the element more often than the normal recommended intervals (refer to "Severe Operating Conditions" in this chapter).

CAUTION

  • Do not drive with the air cleaner filter removed. This will cause excessive engine wear.
  • When removing the air filter, take care that dust or dirt does not enter the air intake, as this may cause damage.
  • Use genuine HYUNDAI parts. Use of non-genuine parts may damage the mass air flow sensor.
