To replace the cabin air filter, you need to access the filter cover located under the dashboard on the passenger side beneath the glove compartment. Release any clips or springs and open the filter compartment.

Remove the cabin air filter and replace it with a new one. Remember that during installation, the arrow indicating the airflow must be oriented towards the driver's side. As you will notice when removing the old filter, there are raised edges inside the filter compartment which are the guides where you need to reinsert the new filter, ensuring it is well stretched and aligned with the guides.
