The pollen filter purifies the air in the cabin and is located under the passenger side glove compartment. Obtain a pollen filter of the same model identical to the original, then to access the removal, unclip the panel on the passenger side and move the covering.

Unclip the two springs that hold the filter cover located under the glove box. Once the filter cover is removed, carefully pull the filter outwards to avoid dust dispersal. To do this, place a cloth on the bottom to catch the dirt.

Carefully reinsert the new filter into the housing and close the cover.
