Where is the cabin air filter located in a Toyota Corolla?
2 Answers
Toyota Corolla's cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, first open the glove compartment, remove the pull rod beside it, then press the edges of the glove compartment inward with both hands to fully lower it. You'll then see the cabin air filter cover. Press the clips on both sides of the cover with both hands to remove it, and you can then take out the cabin air filter. The Toyota Corolla is a compact sedan equipped with two types of engines - a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.2L turbocharged engine, paired with either manual or automatic transmissions across six trim levels. During highway driving, the engine demonstrates excellent continuous acceleration capability.
I'm someone who has changed the Corolla's cabin air filter several times by myself. It's located right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open the glove box and you'll see small clips on both sides—press them to fully lower the glove box. Then, you'll notice a plastic cover; just give it a gentle pull to open it, and inside you'll find a rectangular slot for the filter. Changing it yourself is super easy: buy the right filter model online, insert it with the arrow pointing in the correct direction, and snap the cover back on with a click. I recommend replacing it every 10,000 kilometers or every six months; otherwise, you'll start noticing a musty smell when you turn on the AC. Recently, I've found some filters come with an activated carbon layer, which is great for filtering PM2.5—no more fogging up the windows on rainy days.
