Yes, it has a cabin filter. It is located on the passenger side under the hood. With the hood down, look at the area in front of the windshield below the wiper. You'll see a cowl that is held in place by 4 screws. Those screw heads are covered up by little plastic caps. Pop off the 4 caps with a thin blade screwdriver. Unscrew the screws. ( There are 4 on the drivers side as well, but leave them alone. You just want to take off the passenger's side cowl. Now open the hood and look in the engine compartment where the cowl continues. It is held in place inside the compartment by what looks like 4 plastic screws. These just pop out if you take a screw driver and gently push each one from below. Pop them out. There is a seal around the cowl on the inside of the engine compartment so taking off the cowl may be require a little force to lift it up, but not much is required. There is a secondary shield under the cowl that justs lifts out... mind the positioning of it...it's a little tricky to remember how it came out...but not very. There... you've discovered the cabin filter; replace it and reverse the directions, and your set.
