Cabin air filter

Check reduced ventilation airflow and inspect the cabin filter where fitted. Follow the year-specific instructions for access and installation direction.

IntervalIf equipped with air conditioning: replace every 30,000 mi or 2 years, whichever comes first. Replace at 15,000 mi for mainly high-soot urban driving, or earlier if climate-control airflow decreases.Verified

01 / Requirements

Airflow direction
Confirm that the car has this filter, then match its frame and airflow markings. Do not force glovebox stops or electrical connectors.
Schedule applicability
Use the severe schedule when driving mainly on trips under 5 miles (under 10 miles in freezing weather), above 90°F/32°C, in extensive idling or stop-and-go use, with a roof rack or on mountain roads, or on muddy, dusty or de-iced roads. Occasional severe use follows the normal schedule. U.S. schedules only.
