- Clean cloth
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface with the engine off and keys removed.

2. Access the Cabin Air Filter

Open the glove compartment and remove all items.
Locate the damper arm on the right side of the glove compartment. Gently unclip it to allow the compartment to fully drop down.
If applicable, remove any screws or clips securing the upper panel or cover above the filter housing.

3. Remove the Old Cabin Air Filter

Locate the cabin air filter housing cover (usually a rectangular cover).
Release the clips or screws securing the cover and remove it.
Carefully pull out the old cabin air filter, ensuring no debris falls into the housing.

4. Install the New Cabin Air Filter

Take the new cabin air filter out of its packaging. Ensure it is oriented correctly according to the airflow direction indicated on the filter.
Insert the new filter into the housing, ensuring it fits snugly and is properly aligned.

5. Reassemble Components

Replace the cabin air filter housing cover and secure it with clips or screws.
Reattach the upper panel or cover if it was removed.
Reconnect the glove compartment damper arm and lift the glove compartment back into position.

6. Final Check

Ensure all components are securely fastened and that the glove compartment opens and closes properly.
