In today's replacement, the cabin air filter is located under the dashboard and steering column, in front of the driver's seat, next to the accelerator pedal. You will need to remove the protective panel, which is secured by two clips, so no tools are required to remove the cover.

Once removed, you can extract the filter, taking care to note the direction for reinstallation. Position the new filter and refit the cover.
