Why part numbers vary

Replacement steps
Follow these steps to locate and replace the cabin air filter in the Clarity. Before you start, gather a clean replacement filter and a Phillips screwdriver if needed.
- Park the car, set the parking brake, and turn off the ignition. Open the glove box and remove contents to access the filter housing.
- Disconnect the dampers or stop arms if your model has them to allow the glove box to drop fully.
- Open the filter housing cover by pressing the release tabs or removing the screws, depending on the model year.
- Remove the old cabin air filter and clean the housing of any debris.
- Insert the new filter with the airflow arrows pointing in the correct direction (usually toward the rear of the car).
- Reinstall the housing cover, reattach the glove box stops, and restore the glove box contents.
Replacing the filter is a relatively quick maintenance task and is generally recommended every 12,000–15,000 miles (about once a year) or sooner if you drive in dusty areas or have allergies.
