The smell is there most likely because the AC system is run on recirc often. It creates a mildew smell because of no fresh air to rid the moisture. Find some lysol or febreeze. Pop you hood, and in the back of the engine compartment you will see a long panel that follows the windshield. On this panel you will see three clips, one in the middle and one on each end. Turn these clips 90* Lift up on the panel and pull it towards you. You will now see a filter. It wouldn't hurt to change that either. Anyway, spray the febreeze or lysol into the vent area where the microfilter covered. Make sure you have the ac on so it sucks it in to the proper areas. Spray it a couple of times and you should be good. Just keep alternating between recirc and fresh air. Hope this helps
