To change it (generally for coupe/sedan; convertible access may vary slightly):
1. Locate the glove box: This is the compartment on the passenger side of the dashboard.
2. Open the glove box: Open it fully.
3. Access panel: There should be a small access panel, often held in place by clips or screws, on the top or side of the glove box. You may need a small flathead screwdriver or your fingers to pry it open carefully. Some models might require removing the entire glove box, but usually, it's just a panel.
4. Locate the filter: Once the access panel is removed, you should see the cabin air filter. It's usually a rectangular filter.
5. Remove the old filter: Carefully pull out the old filter. Note its orientation – you'll need to install the new one the same way.
6. Install the new filter: Slide the new filter into the housing, matching the airflow direction arrows printed on the filter itself. Make sure it's seated correctly.
7. Replace the access panel: Put the access panel back in place and secure it.
8. Close the glove box: Close the glove box.
Important Considerations:
* Convertible: If you have a convertible, the access might be slightly different. Consult your owner's manual for the precise location and instructions.
* Owner's Manual: The best and most accurate information will be in your 2005 Chrysler Sebring owner's manual. This will show you exactly where the filter is located and how to access it.
* Tools: You might need a small flathead screwdriver, but often just your fingers are sufficient.
If you can't find the access panel after following these steps, it's highly recommended to consult your owner's manual or a trusted mechanic. Forcing things could cause damage.
