How to Remove the Pollen Filter on a Citroen C5

Model: Citroen C5 DC, MK 1 - Years 2000-2008
Part: Cabin air filter

How to replace the air conditioning filter on a Citroen C5? Here's how to do it: using a plastic lever, pry off the rivets on the cover located at the bottom of the dashboard (right side under the glove compartment). Get a screwdriver or a battery-powered drill and remove the fastening screws securing the side cover of the tunnel. Extract the worn cabin filter; insert the new cabin filter ensuring it fits snugly around the walls of the box. Refit the cover of the filter box and tighten the screws (cover everything with the plastics located under the dashboard). Check the correct installation of the previously fitted parts.
