Frequent replacement of the pollen filter prevents allergies by purifying the air in the cabin. The filter is located behind the passenger side glove compartment.

Obtain a pollen filter identical to the original model, and to access it, release the catches on the glove compartment door. Once the door is removed, open the plastic drawer of the filter by simply pulling the hooks that secure the filter cover.

After removing the filter cover, take out the cartridge by carefully pulling it outwards to avoid dispersing dust. Place the new filter in the housing, close the cover with the hook, and reattach the catches on the glove compartment door.
