Yes, of course. Remove the filter and blast down the intake. I suspect the can
will say to do it with the HVAC turned off and with all the windows rolled
down. I agree with the windows, but suspect a lawyer added the other step.
I do it with the fan on full blast, floor and dash vents selected (not the
windscreen vents) and fresh air intake enabled. Really hose the hell out of
the system, then immediately shut off the HVAC and let the spray work its
magic while putting the filter and trim bits back in place.
You can certainly change out the cabin filter as long as you're in there and
don't mind the ridiculous price...
