Replacement of Cabin Air Filter

Model: Saab 9 3 MK 2 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located in the engine compartment, on the passenger side. Open the front bonnet and ensure it is securely supported. Remove the seal along the edge of the scuttle panel, just below the windscreen, lift the plastic cover and access the cabin air filter. Release the retaining tab of the filter and pull it out of its housing. Insert the new filter, ensuring it is oriented in the direction of airflow, and reattach the retaining tab. Finally, reposition the plastic cover and the seal that were previously removed.
