Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located centrally, just behind the console: to access it, you will need to remove the glove box; first, open the glove box door, press on the sides to retract the limit stops so you can fold it down; unscrew the fixing pins of the glove box and remove it from its place by disconnecting the courtesy light connector; also remove the side trim of the centre tunnel to comfortably access the air duct; at this point, unclip the metal clips securing the filter container cover, remove the cover and extract the old filter, which consists of two pieces; then proceed in reverse for the installation of the new ones.
