🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Open the glove box

• Use your hands to open the glove box all the way.
• Remove any items inside the glove box before continuing.
• Work slowly to avoid breaking the stops.

Step 2: Release the glove box stops

• Use your hands to gently squeeze the sides of the glove box inward.
• This lets the glove box drop down farther so you can reach the filter cover.

Step 3: Remove the cabin filter cover

• Use your hands to unclip the cabin air filter access cover behind the glove box.
• Set the cover aside in a safe spot.

Step 4: Remove the old filter

• Use your hands to slide the old cabin air filter straight out.
• Pay attention to the airflow arrow on the old filter before removal.
• If the filter is dirty, keep it level so debris does not spill out.

Step 5: Install the new filter

• Use your hands to slide the new cabin air filter into the housing.
• Make sure the airflow arrow matches the direction shown on the old filter.
• Push it in fully so it sits flat in the housing.

Step 6: Reinstall the cover and glove box

• Use your hands to reinstall the filter cover until it clicks into place.
• Lift the glove box back into position and release the sides so the stops re-engage.
• Close the glove box and make sure it opens and closes normally.
