The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, just behind the glove compartment. To replace it, you need to remove the glove compartment itself.

Unscrew the screws along the lower edge, then those along the upper edge after opening the compartment door. Once the glove compartment is removed, you can access the air duct, remove the cover, pull out the old filter, and insert the new one (it is recommended to choose an activated carbon filter) after cleaning any dirt residues.

Then, reverse the process by repositioning the cover and reinstalling the glove compartment.
