Open the engine bay and locate the box containing the filter: at this point, disconnect the two air ducts (inlet and outlet) and the side rubber hose as specified in the video. Once done, you can extract the box by pulling it firmly but gently upwards; once extracted, turn the box upside down and remove the screws securing the cover where the air filter is located.

Replace the filter with one of equal specifications, reposition the cover with its screws, and place the air box back in its housing. Now reconnect the clips on the two air hoses and the rubber hose, and you are finished.
