If you intend to replace the engine air filter on your vehicle, the instructions and guidance provided in this video and the description below will be helpful. After opening the bonnet, you need to remove the engine cover.

The air filter is located directly beneath the cover. Proceed to loosen the screws securing the lower panel, and underneath it, you will find the filter housing.

Then, extract the old filter and replace it with the new one, ensuring that the replacement specifications are compatible with your vehicle model. Reposition the panel gasket before refitting it and securing the screws.
