How to Change the Cabin Filter on a Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 SY, SX - Years 2016-2023
Part: Cabin air filter

To change the cabin filter on a Citroen C3, access it from under the grille at the base of the windscreen on the right side. The plastic grille is held by 4/6 cross-head screws visible from above; unscrew all the screws and keep them in a safe place. Lift the grille, and underneath you will find a rubber mat that seals against water. Below it is the filter, a rectangular plastic box with a lid that has two tabs on the sides: press them inward and lift the lid. Remove the old filter noting its orientation. Clean the container from dust and debris and place the new filter, remembering the orientation of the old one. Close the lid, reposition the rubber mat, replace the plastic grille, and screw the screws back in.
