Step-by-step instructions

Pull the handle located near the driver's left leg to unlock the hood.
Pull the secondary latch located to the right of the emblem.
Prop up the hood.
Make sure you're not working in a high wind area, as that might blow the hood backward and damage your vehicle.

Locate the air filter box, which can be found to the front right of the car.

Pull the metal clips up from the top. They will pop out.

Grab the back of the box and pull it towards the top.
To pull out the air-filter, simply pull it away from the car and lift up.

Repeat the process in reverse to install the air filter.
Make sure that the tabs on the filter are on the bottom.

Line up the little pins on the cover of the box with the base of the box in order to close it.
Clip the pins back in and you're done!

Conclusion

Now that the new filter is installed, you're good to go.
