The fuel filter is located underneath the vehicle's floor, near the right rear wheel (passenger side); it is secured with a clamp bracket, locked in place with a bolt to the floor itself. To replace the filter, simply disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses (just press on the release to detach them) and remove the mounting bolt of the support bracket; it is suggested to place a pan underneath the filter to catch any fuel spills.

Then, install the new filter, ensuring to respect the direction of the fuel flow, indicated by an arrow.
