How to Replace the Pollen Filter on Suzuki Grand Vitara

Model: Suzuki Grand Vitara MK 1 - Years 1999-2005
Part: Cabin air filter

Learn how to replace the pollen filter on the first series Suzuki Grand Vitara: the filter is located behind the glove compartment, so you need to empty it and press on the sides to allow the compartment to tilt down (it won't be necessary to remove it completely). Behind it, you will find the filter housing, and by pressing the two plastic locking tabs, you can remove the cover. At this point, you can take out the filter. Clean the empty space thoroughly with a blast of compressed air to remove dust and residual dirt. Now you can refit the new filter. Ensure the installation direction is correct by aligning the arrows downwards. Close the cover and replace the glove compartment. Job done.
