Replacement of Cabin Air Filter

Model: Chevrolet Matiz MK 1 - Years 1998-2010
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, just behind the glove compartment: to access the filter housing, it is necessary to remove the glove compartment by taking out the screws on the lower edge and those inside the closing line; once the glove compartment is removed, access the air duct and then you can remove the cap of the filter container, extract it from its housing, remove any dirt residue present, and insert the new one (activated carbon filters are recommended) ensuring the airflow direction is respected; at the end of the installation, apply the cap and reassemble the glove compartment.
