Replacing the Cabin Air Filter

Model: Hyundai Santa Fe MK 1 - Years 2000-2006
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, behind the glove compartment which must be removed: disconnect the support arms of the flap and lower it completely. Unscrew the fastening pins of the drawer (both those along the edges and those inside) and remove it: the black plastic box is the filter container and the cap is in the centre. Disconnect the cap and extract the two filters (one upper and one lower); insert the new ones and reverse the process for reassembly. After replacement, it is recommended to sanitise the cabin with a suitable spray.
