The cabin air filter is located behind the air duct, at the end of the centre tunnel. To access it, you need to remove the glove compartment on the passenger side.

Start by removing the glove compartment door by unhooking the two plastic hinges at the bottom. Once the door is removed, unscrew the fixing screws of the glove compartment, including the one in the centre under the document drawer.

Then, remove the glove compartment to access the rear of the tunnel and locate the filter to extract it from its housing. Clean any dirt residue present in the filter housing and insert the new filter, ensuring it is oriented in the correct airflow direction.

Finally, reverse the steps to reassemble the glove compartment.
