The cabin air filter is located just behind the centre tunnel. To replace it, remove the sound-absorbing cover located just below the glove compartment on the passenger side and access the filter housing.

Then, remove the protective cap and extract the old filter. Insert the new filter, ensuring the airflow direction is correct, and reposition the cap and sound-absorbing cover.

When replacing the cabin air filter, it is also advisable to sanitise the cabin with a suitable germicidal spray, which will give the interior a pleasant fragrance.
