The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, just behind the glove compartment. To access the air duct, you need to open and tilt the glove compartment.

Once the glove compartment door is open, detach the two side limiters to allow the drawer to tilt, freeing the hinge stop. At this point, you can pull out the filter like a drawer.

The video shows how to clean the filter, but honestly, given the relatively low cost of a new filter, it is advisable to replace it (cleaning is acceptable if you are anticipating maintenance).
