I think you're right... If it's like the 10th Gen Civic, this youtube video shows the access and position behind the glovebox.Page 559 of the owners manual says if the maintenance code reads 2 then it is time to replace the dust and pollen filter. if you drive in primarily urban areas with high concentrations of soot it should be replaced every 15,000 miles or 24,000 km. I can't find anything that says where it is but I assume it is behind the glove box.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u5G2L1i0WrhUllzr42oWEzFGJv1E6YQ9/view?usp=sharingI'm wondering if anyone has replaced the cabin air filter yet. I don't see anything in the manual on how to do this. Of course, I'm making the assumption the G3 Insight has one.
Anyone?
Umm, it kinda looks like a doggie pee pad. What did the padded part feel like filling-wise - e.g. fibers? carbon granules? Potential moisture, odor, or vibration absorbance come to mind as possible reasons for that being in place where it is...?Just took some pictures of the cabin filter and location. Plus I found this white pad stuck behind the glove box. I wonder what the pad is for because my previous Honda vehicles didn't have this behind the glove box.
Feels like fiber. Reminds me of those white pads underneath meat you buy at the grocery store. Can't find any info on what that white pad is for, or any mention about it with google.Umm, it kinda looks like a doggie pee pad.

I noticed the same type of pad when I built in my garage door openers behind the left side dash panel containing the traction control button. I actually used the pad by pulling it out and stuffing the opener box into it once I had the wiring soldered to a momentary switch on the dash.Feels like fiber.

Cabin filter tips are within this thread.Has anyone changed their air filter and air cabin? I wanna change mine, but I need a guide on changing them with pictures. I got 37k miles on my insight.
See earlier posts in thread.On the other note, the air cabin filter was so dirty though. It caught some small leaves and some other stuff. I wonder if that’s normal for air cabin filter?
If we're going by Honda's recommendation both of the filters should had been replaced by 30,000 miles.Thanks. I got the engine air filter out. This is how it looks on 37k miles. Should I replace it?

Is the 30k based on prior maintenance schedules Honda provided, before moving to Maintenance Minder messaging? The Insight manual only mentions replacing both filters at 15k miles under "severe" conditions. I'd expect the Insight's Maintenance Minder sub code 2 message appear to remind/advise of replacement timing...If we're going by Honda's recommendation both of the filters should had been replaced by 30,000 miles.
I remember reading about it from a Honda maintenance sheet I found awhile back. It was 15k or 1 year (both cabin & engine filter) for cleaning(I assume with a vac or shaking to get rid of the large debris like leaves) and 30k or 2 year for replacement. 15k or 1 year for "severe" conditions.Is the 30k based on prior maintenance schedules Honda provided, before moving to Maintenance Minder messaging?
