Video tutorial

This video illustrates how to remove and replace the cabin air filter. For proper maintenance, especially if the car is mainly used in the city or on dusty roads, it is recommended to replace the cabin air filter approximately once a year.

To improve the air filtration entering the cabin, consider installing an activated carbon filter. Begin by removing the plastic panel beneath the passenger side glove compartment; once removed, you will find the filter housing.

Take off the cover and slide out the filter. Next, install the new filter and reassemble everything by following the steps in reverse.
