If you want to ensure the air inside of your vehicle is clean and free of debris, it’s important to replace your cabin air filter regularly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you replace it on your own.
Locating the Filter
The cabin air filter is typically located on the passenger side of the vehicle, behind the glove box. To access it, you’ll need to open the glove box, unhook the dampener arm, and release the stops on both sides of the glove box by pushing in on them.
Removing the Old Filter
Once you have access to the filter, remove the screws using a Phillips head screwdriver. Unclip both sides of the housing cover to remove it. Take out the old filter from the housing and make sure to clean out any debris inside.
Installing the New Filter
Install your new AQ1293 filter into the housing, making sure that its airflow indicating arrow is pointing down. Reinstall the housing cover, screw it back in place, and re-engage the stops on the glove box. Hook the dampener arm back onto the glove box and close it.
Final Steps
Once the new filter is in place, partially close the glove box to re-engage the stops, hook the dampener arm back onto the glove box, and fully close it.
By following these simple steps, you can easily replace your cabin air filter and ensure that you’re breathing clean air while driving.
