Air Cabin Filter Replacement

Last Updated: July 18, 2009

The only tools that you'll need for this simple project are a small ratchet with a 25T torx bit. You'll find that the torque driver provided in your tool kit is a bit too long to remove the 2 rear screws on the bottom filter panel (8). By removing the floor mat, you'll also find a bit more room to work with.

Start by removing/sliding the side vent panel (1) back by turning the plastic screw (2) located at the rear of the panel. You can find it by moving the passenger seat back in it's farthest position. Using a dime, turn the plastic screw to it's vertical position. The vent panel can then be removed. (3) (4)

Next, take out the two torx screws (5) that hold the kick panel in place (just below the glove box). Once you've removed them, it's just a matter of pulling the down the kick panel (6) and exposing the white box that houses the filter (7)

Remove the 4 torx screws that hold the bottom panel of the filter in place. (8) Slide out the used filter (10) and replace it with a new one. The old filter cannot be reused and should be discarded. (11)
