Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located in the engine compartment, just below the windscreen, in a roughly central position: remove the plastic protection grille by opening the three fastening clips, extract the old filter, ensure to eliminate any dirt residue from inside the filter housing, and insert the new one (active carbon filters are recommended) following the airflow direction indicated by the arrows on the filter.
