📋 Before You Begin
- Park on level ground and set the parking brake.

- Keep the glove box empty so it can lower smoothly.
🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these steps in order:
Step 1: Open the glove box
- Open the glove box and remove any items inside.
- Let the glove box hang open so you can see the side stops.
Step 2: Release the glove box stops
- Use your hands to gently press inward on both sides of the glove box.
- This lets the stops clear the opening and the glove box drop down farther.
- Move slowly to avoid breaking the hinges.
Step 3: Remove the cabin filter cover
- Look behind the glove box for the rectangular cabin filter door.
- Use your fingers to release the cover tabs and remove the filter access cover.
Step 4: Remove the old filter
- Pull the old cabin air filter straight out.
- Note the direction of the airflow arrow on the old filter.
- If debris falls out, vacuum the housing if needed.
Step 5: Install the new filter
- Install the new cabin air filter with the airflow arrow pointing the same direction as the old one.
- Slide it in fully and make sure it sits flat.
- Do not force it.
Step 6: Reinstall the cover and glove box
- Reinstall the filter cover until it clicks into place.
- Lift the glove box back up and let the side stops engage normally.
- Check that the glove box opens and closes smoothly.
✅ After Repair
- Start the vehicle and turn the fan on to medium speed.
