To replace the cabin air filter, access it from the engine compartment as it is located beneath the plastic cover just below the windshield. Open the plastic access door in the center of the windshield and remove the old filter; clear any debris inside the cabin air filter housing (it is recommended to use a vacuum cleaner rather than compressed air) and insert the new filter, ensuring it is oriented correctly for airflow.

It is also advisable to sanitize the ventilation ducts with the appropriate spray.
