This video shows how to replace the cabin air filter in a Toyota Prius. To access the filter, open the passenger side glove compartment.

Detach the clips of the glove compartment arms. It is best to unclip the left arm first, then, pressing slightly inward, the right arm. Once the glove compartment door is partially detached, you can open the filter box by simply pulling the door towards you. Remove the old filter and replace it with the new one, then close the box as it was before (it is advisable to clip the left side first).

Finally, reattach the glove compartment arms.
