The following video will illustrate in a few simple steps the procedures to replace the cabin air filter. First, you need to know that it is located directly under the glove compartment.

Once located, remove the plastic cover and, using a screwdriver, unscrew the two screws that hold it in place. Since the filter is covered by an additional cover, it will be necessary to slide this cover to the right (as shown in the images).
