2. Loosen the air cleaner cover attaching clips and open the cover.

3. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner.

Replace the filter according to the Maintenance Schedule.

If the vehicle is operated in extremely dusty or sandy areas, replace the element more often than the usual recommended intervals. (Refer to “Maintenance under severe usage conditions� in this section.)

CAUTION

• 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.
• Use a HYUNDAI genuine part. Use of non-genuine parts could damage the air flow sensor.
