Guide overview

Before you begin

This guide covers changing the air filter on 2012-2015 Honda Civic models with the 1.8L engine.

Step 1

Repair step

⌕

Locate the "hood open" lever on the driver's side of the inside of the car, below the dashboard. Pull lever toward you. You will hear a "click." Go to the front of the car. The hood should be "popped" slightly. Reach under the hood, find a lever, and move the lever to the left. This will completely release the hood latch.

Gently lift the cover of the box from the lower part of the box. Remove the old air filter from the box and set it aside. Place the new air filter in the box. Replace the cover and place the four clips back on the box.
