The cabin air filter is located just below the windshield on the passenger side. To access it, open the hood, remove the seal along the rear edge, and take off the plastic cover grille.

At this point, you can access the filter housing, remove the old filter, clean out any dirt, and insert the new filter (activated carbon is recommended), ensuring the airflow direction matches the arrows on the filter. When replacing the cabin air filter, it is advisable to sanitize the cabin with a bactericidal spray.
