The cabin air filter is located in the engine bay, just below the windscreen: to replace it, you need to remove the plastic cover grille situated directly under the windscreen. Start by removing the seal along the edge of the grille, then proceed to detach the grille itself to access the filter housing near the wiper mechanism.

Next, remove the protective cap from the filter housing and extract the old filter. Ensure there are no dirt residues, then install the new filter.
