Cabin Air Filter Replacement Instructions

Model: Kia Picanto 2A, MK 1 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, just behind the glove compartment door: to access it, you need to open the glove compartment and remove the end stops to fully swing it down; once you reach the air duct, remove the protective cap from the filter housing, extract the old filter, clean any dirt residue, and insert the new filter (activated carbon type is recommended) ensuring the airflow direction indicated by the arrows on the filter itself is respected.
