The cabin air filter is located externally to the cabin itself, specifically just below the windscreen on the passenger side. Disconnect the plastic cover under the windscreen on the passenger side by removing the relevant clips and sliding off the seal: at the corner, just behind the strut tower, you will find the cabin air filter; remove any dirt residue, extract the old filter ensuring no debris falls inside, and install the new one, respecting the direction of the airflow.
