The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, inside the glove compartment: once you open the glove compartment door, remove the plastic element inside to access the filter's housing, then remove the cap and extract the filter complete with its support frame by pressing on the fastening tabs; then remove the filter from the frame and insert the new one, ensuring the airflow direction is correct, before repositioning it complete with frame in its housing and reattaching the tabs; finally, replace the plastic element in the glove compartment.
