The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, just behind the glove compartment. To replace the filter, you must first remove the glove compartment.

Extract the lower plastic pins to fully tilt and then remove the compartment. At this point, you can access the air duct, remove the cap from the filter housing, extract the old filter, and remove any dirt residue before inserting the new one. During the cabin air filter replacement, it is also suggested to sanitise the cabin with a suitable spray.
