The cabin air filter is located externally to the cabin and is positioned centrally, just below the windscreen: to replace it, open the front bonnet, remove the plastic grille covering the air duct housing, and access the filter location; then, unscrew the fastening screws of the cap, extract the old filter, ensure there are no dirt residues inside the container, and insert the new one (the activated carbon version is recommended), orienting it according to the direction of the airflow.
