Yes. The 2015 Honda Accord uses a cabin air filter (often called a pollen filter) to clean the air entering the passenger compartment, and it is located behind the glove box on the passenger side.
Location and access
The cabin air filter in most 2015 Accord models is tucked behind the glove box on the passenger side. Access typically requires lowering or removing the glove box to reveal the filter housing and its cover. The exact method can vary slightly by trim and whether your car has a glove box damper, but the general steps are the same.
Before you begin, ensure the ignition is off and the car is parked in a safe, well-lit area. Have a clean space to work and a new cabin air filter of the correct specification for your vehicle.
- Open the glove box and remove its contents.
- Gently squeeze the sides of the glove box to release the stoppers so the box can drop down fully. If your model has a glove box damper, detach or move it aside as needed.
- Look to the right side inside the glove box for the rectangular cabin air filter cover.
- Slide or unclip the cover to access the filter inside.
- Note the orientation of the old filter (arrows on the frame indicate airflow) and remove it.
- Insert the new filter, ensuring the arrows point toward the rear of the vehicle, then reseat the cover.
- Lift the glove box back into place and reattach the damper if you removed it.
Replacing the cabin air filter is a straightforward maintenance task that can improve airflow and reduce odors inside the cabin. It’s a good idea to replace it at intervals recommended in your owner’s manual, with more frequent changes in dusty or polluted environments.
What you’ll need
Gather these items before you start so you’re ready to replace the filter quickly:
- Replacement cabin air filter that suits the 2015 Honda Accord (check owner’s manual or a parts retailer for the exact part number)
- Optional: small flat-head screwdriver (only if your cover is stubborn or requires prying)
- Clean workspace and good lighting
Note that some trims may require little more than hand tools, but many owners complete the replacement with no tools at all. If you’re unsure, consult your owner's manual or a local dealer for model-specific guidance.
Maintenance guidance and signs a filter needs replacement
- Reduced airflow from the HVAC system or weaker heating/cooling efficiency
- Unpleasant or musty odors coming from the vents
- Increased pollen or dust sensitivity inside the cabin
- Visible dirt or debris on or around the old filter
In general, plan to replace the cabin air filter about every 12,000–15,000 miles (or once a year) under typical conditions, and more often if you drive in dusty areas or urban environments with high pollution. Always follow the interval recommended in your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the most accurate guidance.
Summary
Yes — the 2015 Honda Accord is equipped with a cabin air filter located behind the glove box on the passenger side. Replacing it is a simple, tool-light maintenance task that helps maintain interior air quality and HVAC performance. By following the access steps and orientation cues, you can replace the filter yourself and keep the cabin air clean.
