Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Model: Hyundai Santa Fe MK 3 - Years 2012-2018
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, just behind the glove compartment. To access the air duct housing, open the glove compartment and locate the two knobs on the sides of the compartment that act as stops. Rotate them to remove and then detach the outer rod that supports the glove compartment's movement, allowing it to swing down completely. At this point, unclip the cover of the cabin air filter housing, remove the filter from its seat, ensure there are no dirt residues inside, and insert the new filter before repositioning the cover and the clips of the door.
