UPDATE: I INSTALLED THE ARROW THE WRONG WAY. YOU WILL WANT TO MATCH THE ARROW WITH THE AIRFLOW - SORRY! EVERYTHING ELSE IS GREAT INFORMATION!
You wont' believe how filthy this cabin air filter is. It was probably never changed, since the car was new. That was around 7 years ago, and thousands of passengers.
I don't smoke cigarettes, although the filter had a strong scent of cigarettes for some reason.
Here is what is on the Toyota website, about cabin air filters for Prius:
Cabin Air Filters
Cabin air filters do a remarkable job of helping to keep undesirables like diesel soot, dust and pollen out of the passenger compartment, promoting a healthier, more comfortable environment for you and your passengers. But if you’ve noticed reduced airflow from the heater vents, or if the windows fog up easily in “FRESH” mode, replacement is likely necessary.

I believe the air flows from the top to the bottom and you put yours in upside down. That is why the top is so dirty. Some filters have an "up" arrow, that points up when correctly installed. Others have an "air flow" arrow, that points down when correctly installed.
Excellent catch, and I think you are right! I need to go flip it the other way around.
Thank you so much!!!
Drats, I saw this video and I went to my car to flip the filter upside down. After seeing this comment I gotta go back to flip it back again. haha
Very good point chrisra2. I came here looking for this exact information. I was just now replacing my original Toyota cabin filter with an aftermarket filter from STP. When I removed the dirty Toyota filter the arrow had been pointing up, but the printed information that came with the STP filter said to point the arrow down. I was confused and came here hoping to find a once confused soul who had figured it out. I appreciate you taking the time to post the correct information.
I just watched him install it incorrectly too...(facepalm)
I learned something today....thanks a lot!
You should remove this video and reupload it with the filter facing the proper way. If people follow what you did they will do more harm than good, the "airflow" arrow is different than the "up" arrow, if it says airflow on the filter you should have the arrow facing down, as is the case with the filter you purchased.
This seems counter intuitive, but good to know. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the video, It's so simple and easy. You save me $74 that dealer wants to charge me. lol
Where did you buy the filter please? And how much?
WRONG! AIR FLOWS FROM TOP DOWN. ARROW MUST POINT DOWN. THE ARROW ON THE PLASTIC LID 'IS NOT' FOR AIRFLOW! If you look at the filter you removed, it has an arrow with the word UP. That is correct, because it is probably OEM, but does NOT indicate airflow. NON-OEM filters will probably have an arrow and the word airflow. Airflow arrows should point down. That should be fairly obvious as the dirt was on the top.
I just bought a MicroGard HEPA filter for a 2010 Toyota Prius and the instructions say to install the new filter with the arrow pointing up for that make and model.
So basically this is by design and the arrow is not meant to indicate airflow direction for the Toyota Prius air filters of this generation at least.
This was a big help. Easy-peasy just like you showed. My dealership wanted to charge me $50 for this. Bought the filter at O'Reilly for $20.
Please where can I find that OReilly store? I need the same filter of the video
Thanks! This helped a lot!❤
At 3:37, loose debris is visible on TOP of the old filter. This is a strong indication that air travels DOWN through the filter, not up as you indicated in the video. I think the up arrow on the door is merely an indication of which way the door fits into place...which is stupid because the door can only latch one way, and it leads to filters being put in the wrong way as shown in this video. Otherwise, it is an EXCELLENT video.
You are right sir. Stick a sheet of paper in their and I confirm it myself
Thanks so much fr this.My 2010 3rd gen AC was blowing cold air but even on high felt like it was on low
.Sure enough it happened to be the cabin air filter!Thanks.so much fr this and super easy to replace!

It was much harder than the video looked to get the drawer out. It took my buff husband about 10+ minutes to get it out. He was afraid of breaking it, but it didn’t break, and we finally got it out. I say we, but I was not strong enough. Changing the filter was a cinch after that. Then, you have to make sure the bottom hinges to the drawer are lined up before trying to put the top part back in. Otherwise, you have to do it all over again, which we did. But it saved us a dealership’s fee, so it’s worth it in the end.
I can get mine out, but I really have to fight with it!
Funny thing is you don’t even need to take the stupid drawer out. Theres an access panel right on the drawer to take off to get to the filter. Plus the airflow is backwards from what he said.
Saved me $20 from dealership labor. Really appreciate it.

how could the airflow be up when the dirt was on top of the filter. i think you put it backwards
Thank you sir.

Excellent video, thanks a million!
nice...and you showed the orientation of the plunger on the right which is what I needed. thanks
Thanks Man .very helpful ❤❤❤
Good job
Great video. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this video!! I need to change my filter but didn’t know how to do it and I didn’t want to go to a dealership that will charged me for the service smh
Black color of your original filter is not dirt. It's activated carbon. Much better air filtering than the white one. More money as well.
The corners are white. Charcoal filters are black all over.
Thank you. I have a buzzing/vibrating sound on the north-east side of my dashboard when I accelerate sometimes, any idea what this might be?
the electric motor
I did not know that a dashboard had a North-Eastvside.🤔😳
@@njsongwriter learn something new everyday, like a mature way of saying up and to the right side
Thank you for this video!
Perfect. Thanks.
So at 3:15 you say the arrow is pointing up for the airflow. I removed the old filter and being curious I stuck a string in there and the air is definitely blowing down.
Your thoughts

Thanks it helped
Perfect. Many thanks for this video.
Great explanation. Thanks sir
Thank you so much for share.
Excellent video, but I the left side of the glove box would not release easily for me. I had to tug on it for a while, and it eventually came out. I have done this before without issue, though. A mystery...
Thank you!
Thanks! I did it.
You rock !
Thanks
Thank you
Grazie.👍
Thanks:)
Thanks man, really well explained and recorded.
Filter arrows should be facing down :)
khan209i does it matter? I did mine that way but the filter looks the same on both sides
It will reduce the airflow ...
It does mater. It reduCe airflow and increase the motor workload even will vauSe it damaged. Think about your home furnice filter.
Yep AIR FLOW DOWN IF FILTER HAS A AIR FLOW ARROW !!
Two errors. The arrow is the direction of the air flow, from top down (noted below). Second the hard sides are on the side not to the back, that's why the filter is loose on both sides. The filter that was removed had the folds toward the engine and the arrow pointed up. Not correct.
Ok I don’t understand. The other video by another person said the air flow should point down. Smh. Whoever is wrong is a dimbbasss.
Is the air filter for 2014 and 2016 is the same?
No, different generations.
Sweet. Cost me $40. Dealership would have been double
Design flaw allows Mold to grow in New Toyota HVAC, changing the Filter Does not help, Toyota is concealing the problem
@DavidWhite - Which year does this flaw apply to? I haven't heard of this and mine is a 2010?
No problem with our 2009:model.
Take this down. You're making people put the filter in upside down. Myself included. 😡
