The replacement method for the 10th generation Accord's cabin air filter: The cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, you first need to remove the glove compartment, then open the cover of the cabin air filter housing, take out the old filter and install the new one. The cabin air filter is a component that requires regular replacement, and it is recommended that owners replace it on schedule. The 10th generation Accord is a mid-size sedan under Honda, with body dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2830mm. The 10th generation Accord uses three types of engines in total: a low-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, a high-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine.
Last time I replaced the cabin air filter on my 10th-gen Accord myself, and the whole process was quite straightforward. First, open the glove compartment on the passenger side, press inward on both sides with your hands to release it. See the inner cover plate? Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the three screws, and you'll see the filter slot. Remember to align the arrow direction of the new filter with the old one when inserting it—don't install it backward. The whole operation takes less than ten minutes, while the dealership would charge at least 200 yuan in labor fees. DIY not only saves money but also allows you to choose an activated carbon filter, which instantly freshens up the air inside the car. When reinstalling the glove compartment, make sure the clips snap into place with a click; otherwise, you might hear rattling noises while driving.
