Model: Citroen Xsara Picasso MK 1 - Years 1999-2012

Open the car door, pull up the engine compartment release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard, and lift the bonnet. Secure it with the prop rod. Remove the intake hose, open the ventilation kit (unscrew the securing screws), uncover the filter box panel, and extract the worn air filter.
