Follow these steps carefully
The Ariya's in-cabin microfilter sits behind the glove box on the passenger side. Power the car fully off first — there's no engine, but you don't want the climate system kicking on mid-swap. Open the passenger door and get comfortable.
Open the glove box and empty it completely. The box must swing all the way down; anything left inside will jam against the dash trim or fall into the footwell.
Look at the right side of the glove box for a small damper arm on a pivot. If fitted, slide it off and let it hang. Forgetting it on reassembly is the classic rookie mistake.
On reassembly, hang the damper arm first, before you swing the box up. I've seen the arm's little pivot boss snapped clean off by people closing the box with it hanging loose — then the glove box slams open forever.
Press both sides of the glove box inward to release the stop tabs, then swing it down on its lower hinges. Don't force it past the hinges — it only needs to hang low enough to expose the filter housing.
Behind the opening is the filter housing with a clip-on cover. Squeeze its side tabs and pull the cover toward you, then slide the old filter out and note the airflow arrow's orientation.
Slide the new filter into the tray with its airflow arrow matching the old filter's orientation. Push the tray and cover back until the tabs click — a tray that isn't fully seated lets unfiltered air into the blower.
Lift the glove box, press the sides in so the stops catch, and re-hook the damper arm. Close the box, power the car on, and run heat and A/C through several fan speeds.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
