Toyota RAV4's cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Here is relevant information about the Toyota RAV4: 1. Body dimensions: Length 4600mm, width 1855mm, height 1680mm, with a wheelbase of 2690mm and fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. 2. Powertrain: Equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine producing maximum power of 126kW and maximum torque of 209Nm, paired with a CVT transmission. It features MacPherson strut front suspension and E-type multi-link rear suspension.
Speaking of the RAV4's cabin air filter location, I also spent quite some time searching for it during my first replacement. Actually, it's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and the operation is quite simple. First, you need to remove the entire glove box - there are plastic clips on both sides, just press them inward firmly to release. After removing the glove box, look inside and you'll see a rectangular cover panel, usually with a small handle or clip. Gently pry it open, and there lies your cabin air filter. Don't install it backwards - there are directional arrows on the filter's side. I recommend replacing it every 10,000 kilometers, especially during spring pollen season in northern regions. DIY replacement can save you a lot of money - the labor charge at a dealership could buy you two or three new filters.
