Replacing the engine air filter is very simple as the air box is located in an easily accessible position: once the front bonnet is opened, the air box is found on the front right of the engine compartment (when viewed from the front). Unscrew the fastening screws of the cover, remove the old filter, and clean out any dirt present inside the box, ensuring nothing falls into the intake duct.

After cleaning, insert the new filter, ensuring the seal fits perfectly, and refit the cover by tightening the relevant screws.
