Engine Air Filter Replacement

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

To replace the engine air filter, open the bonnet by pulling the lever down on the left side of the driver and pressing the lock release just below the manufacturer's badge; locate the air box behind the battery, near the strut tower, unclip the metal tabs securing the cover, lift it off, and remove the old filter; clean any dirt residue inside the box, fit the new filter ensuring the seal adheres perfectly to the edges, and reposition the cover, securing it with the tabs.
