The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, beneath the glove compartment: you need to remove the soundproofing panel covering the air duct and unclip the retaining tabs of the filter container cap. Then, extract the old filter and insert the new one, ensuring the correct airflow direction.

Reapply the cap and then the panel.

When replacing the cabin air filter, it is recommended to sanitise the cabin using a suitable germicidal spray, which will also provide a pleasant scent to the interior.
