The engine air filter housing is located at the front right (when facing the vehicle), beneath the air duct: unscrew the side fixing screw of the duct, which is located on the grille, and detach the duct itself; then unclip the two fixing tabs of the air filter housing cover and remove the old filter; clean the housing of any debris and insert the new filter, securing the cover by reattaching the metal tabs; reassemble the air duct.
