In this video, you will see how to replace the cabin air filter on the Hyundai Santa Fe SUV. The filter is located in the glove compartment area (on the passenger side). Open the glove compartment and locate the clips on the side that need to be removed: simply lift the glove compartment slightly, push it inwards, and then pull it towards you. This will allow the glove compartment to drop down, giving you access to the cabin filter compartment.
