The cabin air filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side, accessible by lowering the glove box and removing the rectangular filter cover.
In this guide we identify the exact location, outline the steps to access and replace the filter, and offer practical tips to ensure a proper fit and airflow. The 2015 Dodge Dart shares this layout with other models in its generation, so the process is consistent across most trims.
Location and access
The cabin air filter is housed behind the glove box on the passenger side, adjacent to the blower housing. To reach it, you’ll need to drop the glove box and remove the filter cover on the right side of the cavity.
Use these steps to locate the filter and replace it efficiently.
- Park the Dart on a level surface and turn off the engine; set the parking brake for safety.
- Open the passenger-side glove box and remove any items stored inside.
- Gently squeeze the sides of the glove box to release the stoppers and allow the box to drop down fully.
- Look to the right side (inside the dash cavity) for a rectangular filter housing with a clip-on or hinged cover.
- Remove the cover by unclipping or sliding it open to expose the cabin air filter.
- Take out the old filter, noting the correct orientation (usually with an arrow pointing toward the blower). Inspect for debris and replace if dirty.
- Insert the new filter in the same orientation, ensuring it sits evenly in the housing.
- Reattach the housing cover, then lift the glove box back into place until it clicks and closes securely.
With the filter replaced, close the glove box securely and run the HVAC briefly to check for proper airflow and a good seal around the housing.
Additional tips
To ensure the best performance, use a filter that matches your vehicle’s specifications (size and filtration level). Keep an eye out for signs that the filter needs replacement sooner, such as reduced airflow, unusual odors, or increased pollen exposure during allergy seasons.
Summary
The cabin air filter on a 2015 Dodge Dart is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. Access is achieved by dropping the glove box and removing the filter housing cover, then replacing the old filter with a new one in the correct orientation before reassembling. Regular replacement helps maintain cabin air quality and HVAC performance.
