The engine air filter housing (AIRBOX) is located at the rear right of the engine bay (when viewed from the front), just in front of the brake fluid reservoir. Disconnect the metal clips securing the cover, lift it off, and remove the old filter; ensure there are no dirt residues inside the filter box (remove them carefully to avoid them entering the intake duct), and then apply the new filter, ensuring the edges fit snugly as they also act as a seal.

Finally, reposition the cover and secure the metal clips.

Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
