Open the front bonnet and ensure it is securely supported. Remove the plastic cover on the engine by disconnecting the intake ducts, and take off the air filter housings (there are two filters); extract the old filters and clean the housings of any residues before installing the new filters.

Then, reattach the filter housings to the plastic support of the engine cover and tighten the securing screws. The video also shows the replacement of the oil filter (cartridge filter): unscrew the cap of the oil filter housing and remove the old filter.
