Where is the Cabin Air Filter Located in the Citroen C3?

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

Although it purifies the air entering the cabin from dust and pollen, the cabin air filter is located elsewhere: in the engine compartment. Its exact position is high on the left, just under the windscreen. To replace it, lift the front hatch to access the engine compartment, locate the filter box, remove its cover, and finally extract the worn filters and replace them with new ones. In this specific model, the cabin air filter consists of two filter elements instead of one.
