Introduction

In this guide, I will show you how to replace a cabin filter in a 2008 Prius. I am deciding on this topic because this type of car maintenance is often overlooked when it is essential. Just like your house needs the air filter changed, and your car needs the cabin filter to be changed over time, a bad or dirty filter will release foul air in your vehicle with air pathogens that you will breathe in and can make you sick. Overall I want to show people how easy changing a cabin filter can be.

    • Make sure your glove compartment is empty.

  2. n1HKGrhRVbcsU5Fa
    • Remove your glove compartment by pushing in both sides of the frame of the compartment.

  3. XIrN4IFS1YutCTW4

    • Once the hydraulic press is disconnected, you can pull it straight up, and the glove box will come out.

    • This will expose the cabin filter.

  5. fhTQvqEICDCWPpD2
    • Push both sides of the cabin filter together, and pull it straight out.

  6. RZg4N1TTjlmwaNqR
    • Remove the filter from the filter holder. Then place your new filter in the filter holder.

Conclusion

Hopefully, this guide provided a transparent, precise set of instructions to help you replace your cabin filter; once the cabin filter is replaced to assemble the glovebox back together, follow these instructions in reverse order.
