The air from outside carries allergens. The cabin air filter or pollen filter ensures good air quality inside the car. It is advisable to replace the filter at regular intervals because when it wears out and becomes clogged, it can no longer guarantee clean air and will provide less ventilation.

The filter is located behind the glove compartment in the following guide. To remove it, open the compartment and take out the filter.

Clean the area where the old filter was housed thoroughly and insert the new one you purchased, then close the glove compartment.
