In this video, we will see how to remove the cabin fan and air filter from a Fiat car. The cabin filter is located at the bottom left of the glove compartment; remove the plastic cap and pull out the filter. The cabin fan is located directly under the dashboard (next to the previously removed filter); unscrew the securing screws on the fan cover using a screwdriver.

Once this is done, pull off the cover with the fan after disconnecting the power cables. Clean the fan as necessary (disassemble the fan and its parts).

Finally, reassemble the previously removed fan and all its components under the glove compartment. Test the correct operation at the end.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
