The cabin air filter is located near the right front windscreen wiper. Open the front bonnet and ensure it is securely supported.

Between the windscreen and the engine bay, you will notice a plastic cover: the cabin air filter is directly beneath this cover. Remove the retaining clip along the edge of the wing: it is a push-fit clip, and to extract it, press the central plastic pin inwards and then release it. Remove the lip seal and lift the plastic cover: you will immediately see the cabin filter.

Extract the old filter and insert the new one, ensuring the airflow direction is correct. Refit the cover and the seal.

Before inserting the push-fit clip, pull out the plastic pin to allow the retaining tabs to close: then insert the retaining clip into the designated hole and finally the pin, which will allow the tabs to open and secure the clip.
