The cabin air filter is located behind the centre tunnel, and to access it, you need to remove the passenger side glove compartment: first, open the flap and unscrew the screws securing the glove compartment to remove it, disconnecting the courtesy light power connector.

Next to the duct, you will find the cap of the filter container secured with 5.5 screws (after replacing the filter, it is recommended to replace these screws with standard self-tapping screws with a cross head to facilitate future removals).

Once the cap is removed, extract the old filter and insert the new one, ensuring the correct airflow direction. Proceed in reverse for reassembly.
