Pollen Filter Replacement

Model: Mazda 3 MK 2, BL - Years 2009-2013
Part: Cabin air filter

Pollen filters purify the air in the cabin and are located under the passenger side glove compartment. Obtain pollen filters of the same model identical to the originals. To access them, release the passenger side glove compartment door. Remove the two fastening screws, then take off the filter cover by simply pulling it outwards. Carefully remove the filters by pulling them outwards to avoid dispersing dust inside the cabin. To collect dirt, place a cloth on the floor. Thoroughly clean the inside of the filter housing with a vacuum cleaner fitted with a filter, then carefully reinstall the new filters in the housing and close the cover.
