In this video, we will see how to change the cabin air filter on a Citroen C5: the filter is located in the footwell on the right side of the vehicle, which is the passenger side for left-hand drive cars. You need to remove the plastic panel located at the front of the footwell, which can be easily done using a plastic spatula and prying at the sides: it is only held in place by clips.

At the front of the compartment, you will find the drawer containing the filter: remove it, clean the drawer from dust and debris before placing the new filter back in, ensuring the arrows are pointing downwards. This is the correct position.

Close the drawer, replace the panel, and the job is done.
