Preparation
- Vehicle safety: Make sure the vehicle is secured in Park (P), the vehicle is completely deactivated (ignition/system off), and the ventilation/air conditioning is switched off.
- Protection & hygiene: Place a mat or cloth under the work area to catch falling dirt. Glasses and a respirator protect you from falling dust and pollen. It is best to have a vacuum cleaner ready to vacuum out the housing before installation.
- Lighting: Since the installation location is usually dark, we recommend using a headlamp or flashlight for the best possible visibility.
- Tools: You do not need any tools for the replacement.
- Access: The filter is located in the front passenger footwell, on the left below the glove compartment by the center console. Move the seat all the way back and recline the backrest far to create as much working space as possible.
Step-by-step instructions
-
Locate the housing in the footwell
Lean into the front passenger footwell and look from below the left side behind the glove compartment toward the center console. There you will see the vertical or slightly angled cover of the filter housing. -
Open the filter housing cover
Gently push the locking tab on the underside of the filter cover outward/to the side and pull the cover downward to remove it. -
Remove the old filter
Pull the old cabin air filter downward out of the shaft. -
Insert the new filter
Carefully insert the new cabin air filter from below into the housing shaft.↔ Airflow: The arrows on the side of the filter must point backward (toward the rear)!
💡 Pro tip: Do not force the filter upward while inserting it. If the shaft seems narrow, guide the long sides upward evenly so the slats do not crease!
-
Close the housing
Place the housing cover on top and press it firmly until the locking mechanism audibly and noticeably clicks into place.
