The cabin air filter in the Hyundai Santa Fe is located behind the glove compartment. This must be emptied so that, once opened, you can remove the two fastening pins by turning them counterclockwise.

After this, release the side latch and flip the glove compartment. Now you can access the area behind that contains the pollen filter box. Remove the cover by prying on the side parts and extract the old filter; dispose of it and insert a new filter, ensuring it is fitted in the correct direction.

Finish the job by repositioning the cover and the glove compartment.
