The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, behind the glove compartment; therefore, open the flap from the glove compartment, press the sides to retract the end stops, and fully tilt it downwards; then remove the cover of the cabin air filter housing and extract it along with the supporting frame; take out the old filter from the supporting frame and insert the new one, ensuring it is oriented according to the airflow direction; make sure there are no dirt residues in the filter housing and insert the new filter, apply the cover, and close the glove compartment flap.
