AIR CLEANER
Filter replacement
You can clean the filter when
inspecting the air cleaner element.
Clean the filter by using compressed
air.
1. Loosen the air cleaner cover
attaching clips and open the cover.
2. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner.
3. Replace the air cleaner filter.
4. Lock the cover with the cover
attaching clips.
Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is operated in extreme-
ly dusty or sandy areas, replace the
filter element more often than the
usual recommended intervals.
(Refer to “Maintenance under severe
usage conditions” in this chapter.)
• Do not drive with the air cleaner
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.
• We recommend that you use
parts for replacement from an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Use
of improper parts could damage
the air flow sensor or turbo
charger.
