i had to try about 3 consecutive times to get it but i just hit the status button and wait till the acfilter readout comes up then i just hit the reset button. i tried to press and hold but i thikn its just a quick press that got it done . then it will tell you what to do after that which i think is just hitting the reset button again .
Press and release the status button. When it gets to the a/c filter message, press and release the reset button. The message center will then prompt you to "hold to reset"(I think that's what it says). Anyhow, when that is displayed just press and hold the reset button until it resets.

I just had "change ac filter" pop up on my message center. I've searched other post but can't find out any info, and filter is a very popular word on here. I know I've seen it discussed on here before and I think I have a good idea of where it's located from reading the manual but is it really nessary to change it? Can it just be checked on from time to time to ensure that it's clean?

It is very similar in appearance to an engine air filter. Depending on where you live, the filter may get cloggedup with dust, bugs, seeds, leaves etc and eventually won't draw air into the cabin.
So you should check it as recommended and either change it, or if you have an air compressor, blow it clean. This appears to work OK on mine. The old rule of thumb was to take a paper filter and hold it up to the sunlight. If you can see light thru it, OK, if not then replace or blow clean.
Some replacement filters have a carbon pack which I assume eventually dies so blowing it clean won't rejuvenate the carbon.
Good Luck.
