The cabin air filter is located in the engine compartment, on the side, just under the windshield on the driver's side: first, open the grommets to free the cables attached to the filter cover, then release the retaining clips of the filter housing cover.

Next, remove the old filter, clean the housing of any dirt, and insert the new filter, ensuring the correct airflow direction.

Finally, reposition the cover and secure it with the appropriate clips. Perform cabin sanitization with the designated germicidal spray.
