Unlike most other cars, the cabin air filter on the Citroen C3 is located in the engine bay rather than inside the cabin. To replace it, unlock and lift the bonnet.

Once secured, unscrew the screws located above the filter box (top left, just below the windscreen), remove the cover, and extract the old filter. Install the new filter, ensuring it is inserted in the correct direction, then reposition the cover and screws, and close the engine bay.
