The cabin air filter is located in the engine bay, just below the windscreen on the passenger side: once you open the front bonnet, detach the plastic covering immediately below the windscreen; then remove the protective grille and extract the old cabin filter.

At this point, ensure that the filter housing is perfectly clean (use a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt rather than compressed air), insert the new filter respecting the airflow direction, and reattach the fixing grille and plastic covering.
