The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, just below the glove compartment, above the kick panel; first, remove the sound-absorbing cover panel by unscrewing the two plastic mounting screws; once you reach the air duct, slide the cap of the cabin air filter container to the right to remove it and take out the filter from its slot; then, remove any dirt residue inside the filter slot and insert the new one (activated carbon filters are recommended) following the airflow direction indicated by the arrows.
