The engine air filter sits inside a black plastic airbox in the engine bay, secured by clips or screws; the cabin filter is typically behind the glove box.

The airbox feeds clean air to the hybrid powertrain intake. The cabin filter, which cleans air for passengers, is accessed by lowering or removing the glove box and opening the HVAC service door. If you prefer not to remove trim pieces, our team can handle both filters during one appointment.
