Cabin Air Filter: Service and Repair
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
Removal and Installation
FUNCTION
The air inside the passenger compartment is filtered by the in-cabin microfilters when the heater or A/C controls are set on either the recirculation or
fresh mode. The two in-cabin microfilters are located in the front heater and cooling unit assembly. The rear heater and cooling unit assembly only draws
in air from the passenger compartment to recirculate into the passenger compartment, so the rear heater and cooling unit assembly is not equipped with
in-cabin microfilters.
REPLACEMENT TIMING
Replacement of the two in-cabin microfilters is recommended on a regular interval depending on the driving conditions. It may also be necessary to
replace the two in-cabin microfilters as part of a component replacement if the in-cabin microfilters are damaged.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1. Remove the glove box assembly.
a. Remove the two lower glove box screws.
b. Open the glove box, then remove the four upper glove box screws.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the two glove box striker screws.
c. Remove the glove box assembly from the instrument panel to access the in-cabin microfilter cover.
