How to Remove the Cabin Filter on Kia Sportage

Model: Kia Sportage SL, MK 3 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Cabin air filter

Open the glove compartment and detach the plastic guides located at the sides of the drawer. Rotate the glove box forward (remove any screws if present), pull out the cover plate acting as a stopper, and slide the air filter out of its housing as shown in the video. Once this is done, insert the new cabin filter into the filter holder (ensure the filter is inserted correctly without bending it). Finally, refit the cover of the box and all components of the glove compartment as they were removed earlier.
