To access it:
1. Remove the glove box: This usually involves removing screws or clips holding it in place. Refer to your owner's manual for the exact procedure. It might involve releasing some catches or removing a few screws at the hinges.
2. Locate the filter: Once the glove box is out of the way, you should see the cabin air filter housing. It's usually a rectangular or square compartment.
3. Remove the old filter: This might involve pressing tabs or latches to release the filter door. Once open, the filter should slide out.
4. Install the new filter: Make sure the new filter is oriented correctly (usually there's an arrow indicating airflow direction). Slide it into the housing and close the door.
5. Reinstall the glove box: Carefully put the glove box back in place, making sure to secure all screws or clips.
Important Note: If you can't find the filter after removing the glove box, consult your owner's manual for a diagram or specific instructions. There's a chance your particular model year or trim level may have a slightly different location or may not even have a cabin air filter (though less likely in a 2000 model).
