Steps to replace the air conditioning filter in a Reiz car: 1. First, pull open the glove compartment on the passenger side and remove the clips beside the glove compartment; 2. After removing the glove compartment, you can see the outer cover of the air conditioning filter. Remove the cover and take out the old filter; 3.

The Reiz is equipped with two powertrain options: the Toyota 5GR-FE V6 all-aluminum engine and the 3GR-FE V6 all-aluminum engine, both featuring DOHC dual overhead camshafts and DUAL VVT-i.
Yesterday, I just helped a friend replace the air conditioning filter in his Reiz, located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, empty the contents of the glove compartment, then pull down the side limiters of the glove compartment with a bit of force to remove it. After removing the cover, you’ll see a rectangular slot where the old filter is located—don’t yank it out, just pull it out slowly. Insert the new filter according to the airflow arrow direction, with the arrow pointing downward toward the engine for optimal filtration. Once installed, close the glove compartment, and the whole process takes about ten minutes without any tools needed. Change it more often when the air is dirty to reduce AC odors and protect lung health. Remember to check it every year or every 10,000 kilometers to avoid blockage affecting airflow. DIY is super cost-effective—buying a filter online costs just a few dozen yuan, while shops charge one to two hundred. If you’re unsure about the location, search for Reiz tutorial videos online—it’s crystal clear.
