How to Change a Cabin Air Filter on Toyota Camry

Ensure air quality within the Camry by replacing the cabin air filter

The cabin air filter for the Toyota Camry filters the air entering the vehicle. The filter is in the passenger glove compartment box, outside the air intake. A clogged or dirty cabin air filter reduces the airflow from the cabin vents. A clogged or dirty cabin air filter will also decrease the air quality within the vehicle as it will not properly catch allergens, pollen, dirt and debris as the air passes through. Replace the cabin air filter regularly to ensure maximum air quality.

Things You'll Need

• Screwdriver
• Replacement cabin filter

Instructions

1. Open the passenger side glove compartment box and remove all of the contents to gain access to the filter housing.

2. Locate the two screws on the interior ceiling of the glove box; these screws secure the box in place. Remove the two screws using the correct screwdriver and allow the box to hang down.

3. Notice a rectangular plastic housing as you remove the glove; this is the cabin air filter housing. Pull down the housing cover to open it and you will see the cabin filter. Remove the dirty cabin filter by sliding it out of the retainer clips holding it in place.

4. Insert a replacement cabin air filter; slide the new filter into place within the retainer clips. Replace the cover. Reinstall the glove compartment box back and replace the screws to ensure it's secured. Replace the contents to the glove box and close the glove box door.
