To access the cabin air filter compartment, or pollen filter, you need to go through the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, empty it completely of its contents.

Then, to remove it from its housing, insert a flathead screwdriver into the small slot on the side fixing tabs to release them, as shown in the video. Now detach the external clip on the glove box to your left.

You can now see the cabin filter box located behind the compartment. Remove the cover, extract the filter, and replace it. Finally, reassemble everything.
