How to Replace Your Car's Air Filter

Model: Dodge Caliber MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Cabin air filter

The procedure for replacing the cabin air filter is straightforward; just follow the steps in this guide. The first step is to remove the dashboard trim; be careful as, in addition to the screws to unscrew, the trim is also clipped along its entire length. Carefully remove the trim while paying attention to the connection of the cigarette lighter. The cigarette lighter has a visible cable that must be disconnected. No further removal is necessary; you will see the hazard switch, but that should remain connected to the dashboard unless you want to replace it while changing the air filter. Otherwise, leave everything as it is. Now, locate the filter, pull it towards you in the same direction. The rest is straightforward; position the new air filter and follow the procedure in reverse.
