The cabin air filter ensures good air quality inside the cabin, protecting against pollen and particles, and is effective against unpleasant odours. The filter needs to be changed as it becomes clogged over time, blocking or preventing the passage of outside air into the cabin.

In the following guide, the cabin air filter is located under the glove compartment. The operation to remove it is very simple: detach the cover of the glove compartment to allow the filter to exit the cabin, position the new filter in its housing, and refit the cover.
