If you want to get rid of airborne contaminants in your car, a new cabin filter can do the trick. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
The cabin filter is located on the left corner of the footwell. To start, pinch the sides at the tabs and pull down to remove the securing tabs from their catch.
Next, remove the bottom panel from the glovebox assembly. The filter housing cover has a screw on the bottom that requires a 7/64th hex driver to remove. Then, pinch the sides at the tabs and pull down to remove the securing tabs from their catch.
Once the cover is removed, take out the old filter from the housing and clean out any debris inside. Install your new AQ1211 filter into the housing, and installation may be easier if you pinch the sides down. You can rotate the filter as needed, but ensure that the hard sides are on the top and bottom with the pleats vertical and its airflow indicating arrow pointing towards the back of the car.

Then, reinstall the housing door screw. Finally, reinstall the footwell panel by matching the tabs with their catch and press up on the tabs to secure them on the screws.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your car’s cabin air is free from contaminants, providing you with cleaner and healthier air during your drives.
