There are actually two cabin air filters located in the engine compartment, just under the windshield. Open the hood and ensure it is securely supported.

Locate the cabin air filter housing, rotate the cover fastening cam with the appropriate tool, disconnect the spring, and lift the cover. Then, remove the old cabin filter and insert the new one, ensuring the airflow direction and reference notch are respected.

Clean the filter housing of any debris and reapply the cover with the new filter, reattaching the spring and tightening the fastening cam.
