The engine air filter on a 2010 Toyota RAV4 is housed in the engine bay airbox near the front passenger side.

Access normally requires opening the hood and releasing the airbox clips or screws to lift the cover and remove the filter element. This is the same basic layout across most 2010 Toyota RAV4 models and allows visual inspection without major disassembly.

• Located in the engine bay airbox on the passenger-side front area.
• Accessible by releasing airbox clips or removing a few screws.
• Inspect for dirt, tears, and heavy residue before replacing.

The cabin air filter for a 2010 Toyota RAV4 is located behind the glove box inside the passenger compartment.

Replacing it typically requires lowering or removing the glove box and sliding out the filter housing cover. This placement keeps the cabin filter separate from the engine intake and makes inspection possible without engine-bay work.

• Found behind the glove box in the passenger cabin.
• Requires glove box drop-down or partial removal to access.
• Inspect for pollen, leaves, and musty odors when servicing HVAC.

The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment HVAC system.
