The cabin air filter is located outside the cabin, specifically just below the windshield in the center position: to replace it, open the hood, remove the central portion of the plastic grille covering the area below the windshield to access the filter housing; at this point, remove the cap and pull out the old filter, ensuring there are no dirt residues inside the filter housing, and insert the new one (activated carbon filters are recommended) orienting it according to the airflow direction.
