The cabin air filter or pollen filter ensures good air quality for those inside the car. The simple cabin air filter primarily protects against pollen and other particles and is white in colour. It needs to be changed because over time it becomes clogged due to exhaust gas concentration, blocking the flow of outside air into the cabin.

The pollen filter, as shown in the guide, is located in the glove compartment; by opening the cover, you can remove it, compare it with the new one purchased, clean the filter housing area, position the new one, and finally close the cover.
