As shown in this tutorial, replacing the cabin air filter in the Toyota RAV4 is a very simple and quick task. The filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, so first, remove the drawer.

You can do this by unhooking the damper on the right and pressing the two corners inward. Once done, open the rectangular filter door by unlocking the side clip, remove the old filter, and insert the replacement, ensuring it is positioned the correct way. Finally, reassemble the door and the drawer.
