The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, just below the dashboard, and there is no need to remove any part of the dashboard itself. Once you locate the cabin air filter housing, press the two tabs securing the cover of the filter container to open it and remove the old filter.

Remove any dirt residue inside the filter container before inserting the new one (it is recommended to use an activated carbon filter), ensuring it is oriented according to the airflow direction indicated by the arrows printed on the filter.
