Where is the pollen filter located in the Citroen C3?

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Cabin air filter

During servicing, not only is the engine oil replaced but also various other components. Among these is the cabin air filter, which is part of the full service. Often misled by the name and its usual position in almost all car models, we are accustomed to looking for this component inside the cabin, under the dashboard. In the Citroen C3, the position is entirely different: the pollen filter is actually located within the engine compartment. Specifically, the box containing the filter is at the top left, just under the windscreen.
