The first step is to locate the filter, which is situated behind the glove compartment at the front passenger side. Simply bend down to get a good view of the back of the glove compartment, where you will immediately notice the lower cover of the filter.

Now, unclip the cover to remove it and extract the old filter. Insert the new filter, ensuring it is fitted in the correct orientation.

Reverse the steps to reattach the cover.
