CABIN AIR FILTER APPLICATION CHART
DESCRIPTION:
The following tables provide factory installed cabin air filter applications, and also note which vehicles may be equipped with cabin air filters if they were not installed during production.
A cabin air filter is a replaceable paper element filter that removes particulates such as dust from the air.
The filter locations for these vehicles vary; however, all are accessed by removing or lowering the glove box and/or glove box housing.
The typical service interval is 12,000 miles or 1 year, whichever occurs first. More frequent maintenance may be required in very dusty environments which may clog the filter. Particulate debris becomes trapped in the replaceable filter and is removed from the system during routine maintenance. Odor from debris in the filter may also be remedied by replacing the air filter.
NOTE
Replacement of the cabin air filter is considered a maintenance item and not covered under warranty.
The table shows which vehicles were equipped with a cabin air filter during production and which vehicles may be equipped with filters after production if desired.
NOTE
Corrections to TSB 03-97-002:
1. TSB does NOT indicate that the Santa Fe also changed to the two (2) piece cabin air filter on March 29, 2003 (with the XG and Sonata).
2. TSB incorrectly indicates two (2) pieces of part number 97619-3D000. The correct quantity is one (1) piece for XG, Sonata, and Santa Fe built after March 29, 2003.
NOTE
1. The replacement procedures outlined in TSB 03-97-002 are still applicable for the XG, Sonata and Santa Fe.
2. The installation procedures for the Accent, Elantra, Tiburon and XG 350 can be found in the 2004 Owners Manuals in the "Do It Yourself Maintenance" section. Separate TSBs will be published for earlier models. Access to the air filter in all cases is behind the glove box and glove box housing.
3. The arrow on the cabin air filter must always point in the direction of air flow.
