If you haven't replaced your cabin filter before:
- open the glove box and remove contents
- slide the air spring retainer off (right side of the glove box)
- press in gently of the top of the glove box plenum while pulling forward, this will allow the glove box plenum to clear the retainers and fall forward exposing the cabin filter cover as well as the glove box light switch, etc
...isn't this supposed to be about spark plugs ?
Good hunting, cheers
Good hunting, cheers.
Oh sure it does...it's on page #81. There is only [1] Multi-Function Switch.
"Opening the glove box will automatically turn on the light when the multi-function switch is turned to the first position." (assuming the starting position is OFF, the first position would be "parking lights")
That glove box light really gets to you, doesn't it ? I myself prefer to wake up unsuspecting passengers by a press & hold of the radio station select up/down button until the B-E-E-P is heard...try it. Once you go BEEP you'll never go BOX again
Cheers,
"...wonder why people would ask such basic questions from a forum when all the information can be obtained from any Hyundai service centre."
A: It's a free country, period. In addition, asking any question on this forum, no matter how trivial, will generally trigger a response from any of the thousands of Azera owners such that we WON'T have to go to the Hyundai (or any other) Service Center.

"...why anyone in America would still own a 2006 Azera."
A: It's a free country, period. In addiiton, one can finance a new vehicle here for up to 84 months in most cases. That said, maybe some owners are on fixed incomes and need to see the bank loan through to maturity in order NOT to be upside-down on the next new car purchase.
------------------------------------------
"...With the cost of such cars being almost pocket money in your country, why would you not be driving new or near new models of this car or any other."
A: I (and I'm sure some others reading this) wish I had some of that "pocket money" you elude to that we all have lying around. Can I get an AMEN !
------------------------------------------
"The same car, when it was available, in Australia was almost $50000 - the price in the US is a fraction of our costs as are all vehicles you have access to.
A: Your point ? If you don't like it, simply don't complain...move or purchase something else, really...nice car...but it's still just a car.
------------------------------------------
"You live in a country where motor vehicles are a throw away commodity so why drive old when you can drive new?"
A: Off topic...but oh yeah, that's right...it's a free country.
------------------------------------------
"What I read on this forum beggars belief."
A: So stop reading and troll some other forum.
------------------------------------------
"If we had the same vehicle costs as you do then most of us would have a different near new car for each day of the week."
A: I'm happy for you, now go away, this is not the forum for your banter.
------------------------------------------
"The same applies equally to all products in the US from food, electronics, clothing, housing and every other thing people need to purchase in order to live."
A: Off topic...(again)
------------------------------------------
"You do indeed live in a lucky country."
A: Yes, we do thankyouverymuch. I've served my country for over 10 years and I'm hoping to leave it a little better than I found it, and this pretty much solidifies it...but off topic nonetheless (again).
------------------------------------------
"Just a shame about your leader."
A: Again, off topic.
------------------------------------------
While I (and perhaps others here) respect the differences in others' opinion, it is clear by the tone of your post that you seem to hold some rather deep, unorthodox resentment for your own country while at the same time demonstrating conflicted feelings of political and democratic inadequacy. I'm seeing a CLASSIC case of Country-Envy with underlying dementia...nothing therapy wouldn't cure.
Oddly, as a US citizen and veteran, I'm extremely flattered...thanks for the post, and the desire to want to live here in the USA.
Good hunting, cheers ...too much ? ...nah
Just came across ONE OWNER 2006 Hyundai Azera LIMITED with 66,000 miles and good-looking CarFax here in North Carolina at reputable dealer (asking $11,950). Have read many posts and you all sound GREAT for advice. Supposed to go test drive it this week and he'll let me take it to my VERY REPUTABLE & FAIR mechanic before buying.
So, instead of looking at double-priced Sonatas, etc., or similar "Certified" Hyundais - I was considering this 2006 AZERA because of the huge savings on insurance and no interest or payments because i have $10,000.00 cash to offer.
I must admit I LOVE the look of the AZERA and need a larger car for comfortable drive and safety due to spinal cord damage.
Your postings tell me to change oil and add BERRYMAN'S Chem-Tool at same time, new air filter, premium gas (same as lincoln takes) new spark plugs and flush transmission and radiator to "start things off" - plus my 'normal' detailing, cleaning and 3 coats of Carnuba wax, etc - and garage kept as it becomes my "first car" with Lincoln in 'reserve'.
Edmunds listings for a "good condition 2006 AZERA" run about $10,000.00 - but if it's in "excellent condition" I could go a bit higher.
I'm not a regular "car guy" - and this is my entire savings - so I'd appreciate advice from you obviously "knowledgeable Azera Owners". Am I being stupid for wanting this used 'out-of-warranty' AZERA LIMITED (assuming my mechanic likes it)? Or - should I be looking at a much smaller and newer car "certified" or even an Accord with a year left on the warranty instead? This is the ONLY Azera within hundreds of miles. PLEASE forgive my ignorance about the Azera - and and additional advice on "initial get-ready maintanence" and future upkeep tips (like using PREMIUM Mobil ONE oil and always using PREMIUM GAS??? This may be my "last car purchase ever" (I drive about 2,000 to 2,500 miles a YEAR!). Thank You ALL so much - I'm so worried I'm expecting too much for $10,000 or $11,000 instead of "newer, smaller and add payment loan money" for a much more basic Sonata, etc. Randy
We have always used non-synthetic motor oil in the Azera, and get it changed twice a year after about 4000 miles. IMO, 6 months and 5000 miles are good for regular oil. We have another vehicle that gets only 3000 miles per year, and it gets an oil change only once per year - but with synthetic oil. Synthetic oils do not oxidize like non-synthetics, so the extended time portion of the oil change schedule is ok with synthetic.
Premium gas is not required for the Azera. Using an occasional tank of premium is ok since most premiums have a higher concentration of additives to clean injectors - or just pour in a can of injector cleaner if it makes you feel better. We have never used an additive or premium fuel in our Azera, and as previously stated, the car runs great.
Lastly, does the Hyundai 10 year/100,000 mile power train warranty, transfer?
Seriously, changing the plugs is recommended mainly because the plugs can get corroded/stuck in aluminum heads. They could break off in the head when attempting removal, then you have a real mess. If you really think you have to change the plugs, I'd soak them pretty good in an antiseize solvent before attempting it.
Happy New Year to me, huh? :sick:
happy new year keep us posted
Thanks
Did you encounter any problems with high heat or heat buildup in the head light housing when ou installed the HID's???? I have been advised to drill a small hole in the end cap to help vent any heat that may cause melting or discolor the lens....
Thanks
Not sure what is meant by drilling a small hole in the end cap, I had to drill a 3/4" hole in the dust cap to run the wires through. I've had HID's in for over a year now and my lens are fine, no melting, not discoloration...no problems at all.
As a matter of fact, I just did another HID install in a buddy's 2006 Azera a couple weekends ago. I did it the same way I did mine and he hasn't mentioned any issues either.
My guess is, the original owner didn't like the run-flat tires and replaced them before 20,000 miles.
