🔨 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.
