  3. Lock the cover with the attaching clips. Check that the cover is firmly installed.

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

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

  • Use HYUNDAI genuine parts or the equivalent specified for your vehicle. Use of non-genuine parts may damage the air flow sensor.

  • The air cleaner filter should be replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

  • If the vehicle is operated in extremely dusty or sandy areas, replace the element more often than the usual recommended intervals. (For more information, refer to Maintenance Under Severe Usage and Low Mileage Conditions.)
