The cabin air filter is located in the engine compartment, just below the windscreen, on the passenger side. Start by opening the front bonnet to access the filter location.

Remove the protective cover by releasing the two plastic tabs, then extract the filter itself. Ensure there are no dirt residues inside the filter seat before inserting the new one (it is recommended to use an activated carbon filter), respecting the airflow direction indicated by the arrows on the filter.

When replacing the filter, sanitise the cabin with a bactericidal spray.
