Replace all filters during each service: start with the engine air filter located at the top of the engine, just beneath the plastic cover; once the cover is removed, disconnect the air intake duct from the filter housing and unscrew the screws holding the two components of the filter together, open the housing and remove the old filter, clean any dirt residue and insert the new filter by tightening the screws.

Next, move to the cabin air filter located just below the windscreen on the passenger side: remove the seal, then take off the plastic cover, unscrew the fixing screws of the cap and extract the old filter; insert the new one ensuring the airflow direction is correct.

Complete with the replacement of the diesel filter located just in front of the battery; first, drain the filter by unscrewing the drain screw underneath; then disconnect the hoses by pressing on the locking tabs and pull the filter upwards; position the new filter, connect the hoses and fill it by pumping the manual pump before starting the engine.
