Hyundai Elantra: Maintenance / CABIN Air Filter
Filter Inspection
The cabin air filter should be replaced
according to the Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is operated in severely
air-polluted cities or on dusty rough
roads for a long period, it should be
inspected more frequently and replaced
earlier. When you replace the cabin air
filter, replace it performing the following
procedure, and be careful to avoid
damaging other components.
