Replacing the Cabin Air Filter

Model: Kia Sorento MK 1 - Years 2002-2009
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter for this car model is located on the passenger side, just behind the glove compartment. To access the air duct and replace the filter, first open the glove compartment door, then unclip the stop and fold it completely down. Once you reach the air duct, remove the cap, extract the old filter, clean any dirt residue, and insert the new one, ensuring the airflow direction is followed as indicated by the arrows printed on the filter.
