After passing through 15K Miles I decided to replace the air filter and the cabin filter.
Both are pretty easy to do but I found a short cut to the cabin filter. The service manual describes how to remove the entire glove box. Prior to doing that I found two hinge points on the gove box with "pins" that can be removed and then you have full access to the cabin filter. The entire process takes less than 5 mintues to do.
Of course after I made that discovery I found that the instructions that came with the cabin filter describe the same procedure I found.
I wonder why the service manual didn't have the easier procedures.
Just thought I would share this with you.
FYI: After 1.5 years and 15K miles, the filter was noticeably dirty, small leaves and pollen. I guess it works pretty well.
