How to Change the Cabin Filter on a Citroen C5

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

How to change the cabin filter on a Citroen C5? Follow these steps. Use a plastic lever to detach the trim located at the bottom of the centre console (left side). Get a screwdriver (or battery drill), remove the securing screws that hold the side trim of the tunnel. Extract the worn cabin filter, insert a new cabin filter ensuring it fits snugly around the walls of the housing, refit the filter housing cover and tighten the screws (cover everything with the plastics under the dashboard).
