Good purchase, 2005 XB? Update your profile. If it is a 2006, you may have a cabin air filter in the tray behind the glove box. If 2004 or 2005 your tray is empty. The dealer sells one for $23. Go to autozone or advanced and get one for $12. See the tech section for a thread about fabrication and installation of a cabin air filter. Replace it every 15 to 20 thousand miles. It greatly reduces the amount of dust that lands on your dashboard. :clap:

Eh? I have a 2005 that does have a filter (which is described in the owner's manual).
I didn't think anybody had seen any 06's yet.

RichC Correct, no 2006 yet. I heard on this site that the 2006 will have that cabin air filter where as the 2005 & 2004's do not have it. I have a 2005 witch had NO filter in the tray behind the glove box. What page is that in the manual? It may be described but 2005 owners here say "NO FILTER".
And I am streching the limit on the recomended change intervial. Mine will be changed at 20,000. I also decided to do my 15,000 maintenance stuff at 20,000 miles. Will do the oil change, will rotate the tires and I will do all those things that I can do.

Oops, you're right. I saw the procedure for cleaning the filter in the manual (page 108) and just took from that that there's a filter.
But no, the tray's there but no filter. I should have looked before saying anything.
I wonder if you couldn't just cut a piece of foam AC filter material and put it in the tray, like you'd use in a home window air conditioner?

Yes there is a tray for a CABIN AIR FILTER behind the glove box. Many alergic people have modified the filter to help thier alergies. Go to the tech section and read a thread called Air Cabin Filter Fabrication. Click on the photos and see how some wrap the filter in dryer sheets. Dealer wants $22 for one, goto advanced or autozone and get it for $12.
