The cabin filter is an essential part of your vehicle’s ventilation system, and replacing it is crucial for maintaining clean air inside the cabin. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to replace your cabin air filter.
Locate the Cabin Filter
The cabin filter is located behind the glovebox. To access it, you will need to uninstall the glovebox. Start by opening the glovebox and unhooking the dampener arm. Then, push in on the sides of the glovebox to release the stops and lower the glovebox.
Remove the Glovebox Assembly
After lowering the glovebox, remove the rubber shelf by pulling upwards. Use a seven-millimeter socket to remove the two screws securing the glovebox assembly. Carefully pull to remove the upper panel, being mindful not to damage the connected wires. Unclip both sides of the housing cover to remove it.
Replace the Air Filter
Once the housing cover is removed, take out the old filter and clean out any debris inside the housing. Install the new AQ1251 filter into the housing with its airflow indicating arrow pointing down. It is recommended to replace the filter every 15,000 miles or one year. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for specific recommendations.
Reassemble the Glovebox
After replacing the filter, reinstall the filter housing door, the upper panel, and the screws. Then, reinstall the rubber shelf by aligning the tabs with their catch and pressing to lock them into place.
Lift the glovebox and push in on the sides to secure the two tabs behind the frame. Reinstall the dampener arm and close the glovebox.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your cabin air is clean and free of harmful particles. Order your replacement parts today at Filterheads.com.
