- A) Remove the cabin air filter cover by turning its retainers 90°counterclockwise. Pull the filter out of the housing.
- b) Unfasten the four latches of the wiring box and remove the sleeves with wires from the box (see fig. 10.26 a)
- V) Remove the four screws and pull the cabin filter housing forward.
- G) In the left rear corner of the engine compartment, pull off the seal, turn the two latches counterclockwise and slide the trim panel slightly forward.
- d) Remove the two screws and remove the air duct (see fig. 10.26b).
