The cabin air filter is located in the engine compartment, on the passenger side, just below the windscreen. Remove the seal and unscrew the fastening screws of the plastic cover: just below is the filter: disconnect the fastening tabs and extract the old filter.

Then insert the new one, ensuring the airflow direction is correct; reattach the tabs and remount the cover, repositioning the seal. It is also recommended to sanitise the cabin with a suitable spray: turn on the air conditioning at maximum speed, activate recirculation and spray the spray inside the cabin and into the air vents, leaving it to act for a few minutes.

Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
