Every step in this video (12)
  1. Change it at Maintenance Minder code 2 or when airflow from the vents feels weak
  2. It sits behind the glove box, inside the blower housing on the passenger side
  3. Empty the glove box and open it
  4. On the right side, unhook the damper from the glove box
  5. Now lower the glove box all the way down
  6. Behind it is a long lid. Press the tab at each end and pull it off
  7. Slide the old filter straight out. Keep it level so the dirt stays in it
  8. Most common mistake: putting it in upside down. The airflow arrow must point DOWN
  9. Slide it all the way in, flat, so the edges don't fold
  10. Snap the lid on until both tabs click. If it's loose, air leaks out around it
  11. Raise the glove box and hook the damper back on
  12. Last check: fan on high. Strong airflow, and the glove box closes smoothly
