The cabin air filter procedure should be done periodically and is essential for the health of the driver and all passengers, as this filter helps to better filter the air and ensures that any allergic individuals do not face any risks. This can be done without the help of a mechanic.

The filter is located on the passenger side, beneath the glove compartment. Once you remove the panel in front of you and the cylindrical box containing the filter, you can remove it with the help of a screwdriver.

At this point, you will have the filter in front of you, which you can grasp and pull out from its housing.
