4. Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to replace your cabin air filter. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific glovebox removal procedures if needed.

  1. Locate Filter Housing: The cabin air filter is typically located behind the glovebox on the passenger side of the vehicle.

  5. Install New Air Filter: Insert the new AirTechnik CF12000 filter into the housing, ensuring the airflow arrows on the filter point in the correct direction (typically towards the rear of the vehicle or as indicated by the vehicle manufacturer).
  6. Reassemble: Replace the filter housing cover, ensuring it clicks securely into place. Reattach any levers or clips for the glovebox and close the glovebox.
