To access the cabin air filter or pollen filter, work inside the cabin instead of accessing it from the hood like in other car models. More specifically, access it from the panel under the glove compartment by removing the Torx screws.

Once the panel is removed, bend down and unscrew the screws that secure the air filter cover. Done! After removing the cover, you can pull out the filter and insert the new one, placing it in the same orientation as the original.

Reassemble everything in reverse order, and you're all set.
