To perform this operation, first locate the position of the filter so you can access it by removing the covering parts. It is located behind the small glove compartment, and to reach it, completely remove the compartment by opening it and pushing on the sides to release it. Then, remove the cover to extract the old filter, paying attention to the orientation in which it is installed.

Install the new filter following the indicated orientation, retrace the steps in reverse for reassembly, and you're done!
