How to Replace the Cabin Filter in a Kia Sportage

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

The cabin air filter in the Kia Sportage is located on the passenger side, behind the glove compartment. To replace it, open the glove compartment and detach both the side guides and the damper that acts as a stop to allow it to swing down and access the air duct housing. Remove the protective cap of the cabin air filter, extract it, and clean any dirt residues before inserting the new one, reversing the steps for reassembly. It is also recommended to sanitise the cabin and air vents when replacing the filter.
