Steps to replace the air conditioning filter in a Camry are: 1. Open the glove compartment and press the plastic clip; 2. Pry open the clip securing the air filter cover, then remove the old filter; 3. Install the new air conditioning filter; 4. Reattach the air filter cover. The functions of the air conditioning filter are: 1. To provide fresh air; 2. To absorb harmful substances; 3. To filter solid impurities. Taking the 2019 Luxury Edition Camry as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4885mm, width 1840mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2825mm, fuel tank capacity 49l, and trunk capacity 620l.
Changing the air filter for a Camry isn't as difficult as you might think. Having driven this car for several years, I can do it myself without any tools. First, open the glove compartment on the front passenger side, remove all items inside, and locate the small clips on both sides—usually plastic knobs or fasteners. Gently twist or pull them to fully lower the glove compartment. Second, you'll see a black cover at the back of the glove compartment, typically secured with clips. Press to release and remove the cover. Third, take out the old filter, paying attention to any arrow indicating direction to avoid installing it backward, which could affect airflow. Fourth, insert the new filter with the arrow pointing toward the front of the car or as indicated in the manual, ensuring it's snug. Fifth, reattach the cover and clips, then reset the glove compartment and test if the air conditioning airflow has improved. I recommend replacing it every six months or 10,000 kilometers. Buying a filter on Taobao costs just a few dozen yuan—saving time and money while preventing bacterial growth that causes odors. Your family will breathe easier while driving, so why not give it a try?
