Cabin air filter location

Hello and thanks for using 2carpros. Com.

First, these vehicles did not come with one from the factory. However, you can install one. I have attached several pictures for you to help identify where and how it goes together. Additionally, here are the directions from Alldata to guide you. I hope it helps.

Cheers,
Joe

These vehicles did not come with a cabin air filter from the factory. First-time installation of the cabin air filter will require an installation kit. There are two different types of filter media offered; particulate or carbon/particulate. Refer to the part numbers listed in the Parts Information following the procedure below.

1. Locate and remove the screws holding the right side lower insulator panel as shown in the illustration.
2. On the underside of the HVAC case, inboard of the blower motor, locate the groove (2) around the molded-in cabin air filter access panel (1) as shown in the illustration.
3. Carefully cut out the molded-in cabin air filter access panel using a suitable tool. Keep the tool inside the groove at all times.
Note :
The size of the opening is 10.25" x 1" (260.3 mm x 25.4 mm) as shown in the illustration.

Important :
Once the molded-in cabin filter access panel is removed, ensure the opening is free of burrs and debris.

4. Bend the top stage and slowly insert the cabin air filter into the HVAC module, with the filter stages (cut outs) facing inboard while the pull strip is pointed down as shown in the illustrated.
Important :

The cabin air filter must be flush with the HVAC module access opening as shown in the illustration.
5. Install the cabin air filter cover plate hook onto the slot in the HVAC module and press the cover flush while installing the fastener as shown in the illustration.
Tighten
Tighten the fastener to 1.6 N.M (14 lb in).
