The cabin air filter is located just behind the centre console, but you can access the air duct from the passenger side. Once you locate the filter housing, remove the four screws securing the cap, which is integrated into the filter support.

Extract the filter by rotating it during the removal process. Remove any dirt residue present in the filter housing and insert the new filter (choose one with activated carbon if available), bending it during insertion and then securing it with the four screws.
