Video tutorial

The cabin air filter housing is located inside the vehicle, on the passenger side, just under the dashboard. Remove the two front mounting screws and detach the housing cap from the rear door before removing it: at this point, extract the old filter by sliding it out sideways and insert the new one along the guides, ensuring the correct airflow direction and taking care not to deform it. Once the new filter is in place, reattach the cap, ensuring it clicks into position correctly, and tighten the two previously removed mounting screws.
