Video tutorial

Even if you have regularly changed the cabin filter in your vehicle, you may still notice a bad odor when you turn on the air conditioning, especially the first few times after winter. This video helps eliminate it in your Toyota Prius C Aqua. The product for this operation is available in a kit on Amazon called Everclean Moose UD24 TA-6510, costing just under $25 at the current exchange rate with the yen. To perform this operation, remove the glove compartment, which is pressure-fitted and not difficult to remove.

By taking off a small portion of upholstery, you can access the air conditioning drain. Pull it out. From the kit, take the sponge and the drain tube.

Insert the sponge and the flexible tube into the drain pipe. Once everything is in, apply the aerosol can. Press the can, which will clean the drain tube.

Remove the can after it has fully discharged. Dispose of it in a suitable container for about 15 minutes.

Now you can put the drain back in place and reassemble the glove compartment. The job is done, and your air conditioning will be fresh and smelling good.
