Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Model: Kia Sorento MK 2 - Years 2009-2014
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located behind the passenger side glove compartment, and to access it, you need to open and flip down the glove compartment door: start by opening the door, disconnect the end-stop cable by passing the clip through the designated opening; remove the side fastening rings and lower the door completely to access the air duct; then remove the protective cap from the filter housing and extract the old filter, ensuring there are no dirt residues; insert the new filter respecting the airflow direction, apply the cap, and reposition the glove compartment door.
