Replacement of Cabin Air Filter

Model: Mazda 5 MK 1 - Years 2005-2015
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located behind the centre tunnel: access it from the passenger side and remove the plastic side cover and the sound-absorbing lining located just below the glove compartment. Remove the fixing screws of the air deflector opening and closing mechanism, disconnect the relevant connectors, and extract the two cabin filters (they are stacked one on top of the other).
Then insert the new filters and reassemble everything. It is also recommended to sanitise the cabin with a suitable spray, spraying it into the air ducts to eliminate any unpleasant odours.
