Do not attempt to wash or to rinse it, as water will damage the filter.

  4. Reassemble the air cleaner cover in the reverse order.

  5. Check that the cover is firmly installed.

If the vehicle is operated in extremely dusty or sandy areas, replace the air cleaner filter more often than the usual recommended intervals (Refer to the “Maintenance under severe usage and low mileage conditions” section in this chapter).

  • Do not drive with the air cleaner filter removed. This will result in excessive engine wear.

  • When removing the air cleaner filter, be careful that dust or dirt does not enter the air intake, or damage may result.

  • Use parts for replacement from an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Use of non-genuine parts could damage the engine.

  • Do not blow the inner part of the air filter with compressed air. Dust or dirt may enter the air intake.

  • Check that the replaced filter is firmly fixed when reassembling the air cleaner filter, and that the levers are firmly assembled.
