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. Safety glasses and a respirator protect you from falling dust and pollen. It is best to have a vacuum cleaner ready to clean 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: No tools are required for the replacement.
- Access: The filter is located in the passenger footwell, to the left below the glove compartment, at the center console. Move the seat all the way back and recline the backrest well to create as much working space as possible.
Step-by-step instructions
-
Locate housing in footwell
Lean into the passenger footwell and look from below, to the left behind the glove compartment, toward the center console. There you will see the vertical or slightly angled cover of the filter housing. -
Open 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 old filter
Pull the old cabin air filter downward out of the compartment. -
Insert new filter
Carefully insert the new cabin air filter from below into the housing compartment.↔ Airflow: The arrows on the side of the filter must point backward (toward the rear)!
💡 Pro tip: Do not forcefully push the filter upward when inserting it. If the compartment seems narrow, guide the long sides upward evenly so the pleats do not wrinkle!
-
Close the housing
Position the housing cover at the top and press it firmly until the lock audibly and noticeably clicks into place.
