Introduction

This is a simple and easy to follow guide on how to replace the cabin air filter in a 2023 Toyota RAV4 XLE Hybrid.

The air cabin filter is responsible to catch any small particles or debris that could have entered your A/C. It is best to replace your cabin air filter every 15,000 miles or 24,000 Km.
