    For the Gen III, is the Cabin Filter the same as an A/C filter?

    The Maintenance Manual gives inspection and change intervals for the Cabin Filter. Yet the Owner's Manual does discuss or show the location of a Cabin Filter. They list the A/C Filter, the Engine Filter and the Pollen and Dust Filter.

    The A/C Filter is shown as located behind the Glove Compartment. Is this the same as what the Maintenance Manual describes as the Cabin Filter?

    Yes, the filter behind the glovebox is the cabin filter, also known as the A/C filter.
