Replacing the cabin air filter is very important to ensure proper hygiene in the cabin and to avoid the typical bad smell that occurs when the air conditioning is first turned on. The filter is located on the passenger side, just behind the glove compartment.

To replace it, open the glove compartment, remove the two side plastic pins that act as stops so that you can fully tilt it and access the filter housing.

Then, remove the cover, take out the old filter, and insert the new one, orienting it according to the airflow direction indicated by the arrows printed on the filter itself.
