I often change the XR-V's cabin air filter myself, and it's actually quite easy. First, clear out the glove compartment on the passenger side to prevent any items from falling out. After opening the compartment, check both sides or the bottom—there are usually plastic clips that can be gently pressed inward to unlock and remove the glove box. Some models may require loosening one or two small screws. Once removed, you'll see the slot cover for the cabin air filter, which is mostly a sliding design—just push to open and remove the old filter. Be careful not to scatter dust when taking it out, as the old filter is full of accumulated dust and bacteria; wearing gloves is safer. Buy a new filter that matches the model, and pay attention to the arrow marking to ensure it's installed in the direction of airflow—don’t put it in backward, as this will render the filtration ineffective. After installation, close the slot cover and reassemble the glove box. It’s recommended to replace the filter every six months, especially in cities with heavy air pollution, for better health and to prevent unpleasant odors from the AC. Doing it yourself saves money, and buying a filter online costs just a few dozen yuan.
