Open the bonnet and locate the filter container in the air box on the right side of the engine. Release the clips on the cover by lifting them upwards, then carefully remove the container by pulling it upwards and disengaging it from the support.

Remove the old filter and insert a new one. Before inserting the new filter, clean the interior of any dust deposits. Carefully close the air box, ensuring it fits perfectly with the cover.

Reposition it accurately and ensure the clips are securely fastened. Start the engine and check for proper operation.
