Keeping the engine air filter clean and efficient is crucial for the engine to draw the correct airflow and ensure good performance and fuel efficiency. Replacing it is extremely simple: once you open the front bonnet, the air filter box (Air Box) is located next to the battery.

Release the metal clips holding the cover in place, remove the old filter, ensure there are no dirt residues, and insert the new one, making sure the seal fits correctly before reattaching the cover.
