Installation Guide

Replacing the cabin air filter is a straightforward procedure that can be completed in under ten minutes. Follow these steps to ensure optimal performance:

1. Locate the Filter Compartment: Open the glove box and remove any contents. The filter housing sits directly beneath the compartment.
2. Access the Cover: Gently pull back the plastic cover or release the latch that secures it in place.
3. Remove the Old Filter: Slide the existing filter out of its slot. Dispose of it responsibly.
4. Insert the New CUK 1830: Align the filter with the airflow direction arrow (usually indicated on the side) and slide it into place until it clicks or locks securely.
5. Re‑attach the Cover: Snap the cover back onto the housing, ensuring a tight seal to prevent dust ingress.
6. Test the System: Start the vehicle and check that air flows correctly through the vents. If any irregularities occur, re‑inspect the installation.

Maintenance Tips

To keep your cabin air filter performing at its best, consider the following practices:

• Regular Inspection: Check the filter every 12,000–15,000 km or annually, whichever comes first.
• Clean Surrounding Areas: Remove dust from the filter housing and surrounding vents to prevent blockage.
