Open the bonnet and locate the filter housing on the left side of the engine. Disconnect the air intake hose by removing the hose clips to allow the housing to be removed from its support.

Remove the cover by unscrewing the retaining screws around its edge. Pull out the old filter and insert a new one. Before inserting the new filter, clean the inside of any dust deposits.

Carefully close the air box, ensuring it fits perfectly with the cover. Refit the flexible hose, paying attention to the reference notch.

Start the engine and check for proper operation.
