Installation Procedure:

1. Move passenger seat all the way back.

2. Position yourself so that you can look under the passenger glove compartment. (Note: For me this was to it upside down in the passenger seat with my feet up by the head rest and my head under the glove compartment.

3. Use a flash light to locate the cabin air filter cover. 


4. Use the T20 Torx driver to remove the screw holding the cover in place and remove the cover. 


5. Partially remove the old air filter by grasping the tab on the bottom and gently pulling. Do not completely remove it yet. 


6. Take Note of the direction the air flow direction indicator arrow is pointing. (Note: For me it was pointing from the passenger side to the driver’s side.) 



7. Finish removing old air filter. 


8. Locate the air flow direction indicator on the new air filter. 


9. Gently enter the new air filter in the same orientation as the one you just removed. (Note: It will slide in at a slight angle towards the driver’s side.)

10. Replace the air filter cover being careful to ensure that both tabs slide into their proper place. 


11. Enjoy clean fresh air.
