- Look under the dashboard on the passenger's side. You should see a plastic cover with a rectangular opening. This is the cabin air filter housing.
2. Remove the cabin air filter housing cover:
- Use a Phillips head screwdriver or a 7mm socket to remove the screws that hold the cabin air filter housing cover in place.
- Once the screws are removed, gently pry the cover off using your hands. Be careful not to break the cover.
3. Remove the old cabin air filter:
- Once the cover is removed, you should see the old cabin air filter inside the housing.
- Pull the old cabin air filter straight out of the housing.
4. Install the new cabin air filter:
- Before installing the new cabin air filter, make sure to inspect it to ensure that it's the correct size and that there are no visible defects.
- Slide the new cabin air filter into the housing, making sure that it's properly seated and facing the correct direction.
5. Replace the cabin air filter housing cover:
- Once the new cabin air filter is in place, put the cabin air filter housing cover back on and secure it with the screws that you removed earlier.
6. Test the cabin air system:
- Turn on the vehicle and the air conditioning. Check to make sure that air is flowing through the vents and that the cabin is cooling or heating as expected.
