The cabin air filter is located outside the cabin, specifically just below the windshield in the center position: to replace it, open the hood and locate the plastic screws that secure the cabin air filter cover; once you remove the screws and take off the cover, pull out the old filter and insert the new one. To remove the entire duct, unscrew the two front nuts, pull the side ducts upwards, and slide the cabin air duct forward as if it were a drawer.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
