Replacing the Cabin Air Filter

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: to access and replace it, you need to open the glove compartment door, remove the plastic stops that act as end stops to fully tilt it and reach the air duct; at this point, remove the cover of the cabin air filter container, extract the old filter, remove any dirt residue present, and insert the new filter (activated carbon type is recommended) following the airflow direction indicated by the arrows on the filter itself.
