Where is the cabin filter located in the Smart ForTwo and how to replace it?

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Cabin air filter

In this video, we can see where the cabin filter is located in the Smart ForTwo and how to proceed in case we need to replace it. As shown, it is located in the front compartment of the vehicle and accessing it can be difficult without removing the entire bumper. After removing the small indicated grille, we open the long rectangular door and extract the old filter from its housing, which should be cleaned of any dirt residue. Once this is done, we can insert the replacement, being careful to respect its orientation, usually indicated along the edge of the filter.
