Toyota Harrier(60) Cabin Air Filter Replacement

​

Coolness Taken to the Next Level

Hey, a man of my word!
I’ve made it happen again.
It’s finally here!!
​The Harrier is just so cool, isn’t it?
​I’d venture to say this is the most impressive evolution in the model’s history.
Unlike the previous model, which looked a bit wide-eyed, this one has more of a sharp, squinting gaze—like a predator eyeing its prey. That understated coolness is just incredible.
​The interior I saw was based on black tones and oozed a sense of luxury.
As expected of the Harrier, it feels quite large. Maybe it’s the ride height, but it feels even more imposing.
​There was a time when it felt like the Lexus RX might have stolen the spotlight, but it looks like the Harrier is here to stay.
Just like the previous generation, it offers both gasoline and hybrid configurations.
And of course, the fuel efficiency has been improved even further.
​Anyway, let’s get to the main point.
​

Release the stoppers

​First, open the glove box.
Next, detach the damper on the left side.
Then, push the left side of the glove box inward while pulling it toward you to release the stopper at the back. Do the same for the right side to fully open the glove box.
​

Remove the cover

​Pinch the tab on the left side and pull it toward you to remove the cover.
It feels just like opening a regular lid, so no worries there.
​Generally, once you get past the glove box, most models follow a pattern where the remaining steps are quite simple.
​

Replace the filter

​Replace the filter.
The filter was the same as the previous model. The hybrid also uses the same one.
It sits a bit loosely inside the blower case, but since it’s held in place by the tabs on the inside of the cover, it doesn’t seem to be an issue.
I guess that’s all part of the design.
