Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter for the vehicle model in question is located in the engine bay, just below the windscreen, on the passenger side; once you locate the filter housing, lower the cover like a flap to allow for the extraction of the filter, which is positioned like a drawer; after removing the old filter, ensure there are no dirt residues inside the housing and insert the new one (activated carbon filters are recommended) by sliding it into the respective housing, orienting it according to the airflow direction indicated by the arrows on the filter itself.
