Owners of other Hyundai, Kia and Genesis vehicles such as the Santa Fe, Kona, Elantra, Sonata, Accent, Veloster, Ioniq, Nexo, G80, G90, Stinger, Rio, Forte, Optima, Cadenza, K900, Soul, Niro, Sportage, Sorento and Sedona may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A few compatible replacement cabin air filter part numbers are as follows: TYC 800205P, F1Auto FC97133-D1000 and Hyundai / Kia 97133 D3200.

No tools are needed to access and replace the filter.

Move to the right side of the glove box and locate the black plastic damper arm.

Firmly pull the damper arm off the two pronged mounting peg.

Then move to the inside of the glove box and locate the two round black plastic side stops.

Rotate the side stops one quarter turn in the counterclockwise direction before pulling them straight out of the glove box.

Set the two side stops aside in a safe place.

Once the glove box is out of the way, you'll be able to see the black plastic HVAC blower motor housing and the rectangular filter access cover.

There are two tabs on the left side of the filter cover.

Swing open the left side of the cover towards yourself.

There is a plastic tab on the right side of the filter cover that is inserted into a slot on the blower motor housing.

Pull the filter cover to the left to remove the tab from its slot.

Set the filter cover aside in a safe place.

The OEM filter was marked as Hyundai / Kia (Doowon) part number 97133-D3200 (also known as 97133D3200 or 97133 D3200).

If the old filter is dark grey or black and clogged with dirt, dust, sand, hair, pollen, soot, insects, leaves, twigs and other debris, it should be replaced with a new element.

I recommend buying the TYC 800205P filter since it has excellent reviews on Amazon.

If the old filter is relatively clean, just tap out the large debris and remove any fine dust with a vacuum cleaner.

If your vacuum has a crevice attachment, carefully clean out any leaves or debris in the filter slot.

Slide the new filter straight into the slot until it is flush with the opening.

First, re-insert the tab on the right side of the cover into the slot on the right side of the blower motor housing.

Then swing the left side closed and push on it to secure the filter cover.

Raise the glove box towards the dashboard until the openings for the side stoppers are unobstructed.

Firmly push the black plastic damper arm on to the two pronged mounting peg.

Double check that the damper arm is securely attached to the mount.

Replace the contents of the glove box and close it to finish the job.

Be sure to record the cabin air filter change in your vehicle's service records.
