To replace the cabin air filter, you do not need to access the vehicle's cabin as it is located in the engine compartment, on the passenger side, just below the windscreen: once the front bonnet is opened, move the seal on the edge of the plastic grille under the windscreen, remove the caps, and unscrew the screws securing the grille to remove it; at this point, you can access the filter housing, remove the cap, extract the old filter, clean any dirt residue, and insert the new one.
