Part: Cabin air filter

Replace the cabin filter at every service. Remove the cabin filter on a Subaru XV by taking it out from inside the glove compartment.

Next, slide out the air filter from its housing as shown in the video. Insert the new filter, then close it with the cover plastic. Refit the glove box and reconnect the brackets on either side.
