I haven't changed it but if it's like all the other cars I own, you just need a small flathead screwdriver that has the tip wrapped in electrical tape (to prevent scratching). Then just locate the tabs (usually obvious or the lens itself will say "open here"). After that, remove the bulb.

Also, some words of caution from the manual:

REMOVAL OF MAP LIGHT

DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the
cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to
prevent airbag and seat belt pretensioner activation.
