I am getting an intermittent burning smell when the heat is on in the car. It doesn't appear to be as hefty when driving at highway speed, but it is still present; especially in morning traffic. It does it at all speeds and regardless of where I'm putting the direction of air whether defrost or feet or up top.

I was thinking it might be the cabin filter? Any other suggestions? Where is the cabin filter located on this car?

Thanks!

Did you recently change your oil? What kind of burning is it?

Pull the glove box down and there is a plastic tab that's removable, it's in there if you have one.
