Hello, cannot locate the cabin filter for this model. I know that most of them is under the glove compartment, but this one does not have that little door is all in one.
It does not have condition air could it be that it does not have?

Hello, to get to the cabin filter. You most remove the glove-box entirely. There's a few screws up top and a few on to the bottom of the glove-box. Once the glove-box is out of the car, you will see 2 clips holding the filter in. Pop the clips down and you should be able to pull the filter out. Almost every car has the filter in the same place since it needs to be near the air box for climate control. But take the glove-box right out and look around in there, you'll find it. Just be gentle with the plastic clips. Air conditioning systems have cabin air filters as well. If you absolutely can't find it, I'll get you a diagram to give you direction.

Thank you very much for your quick response. I have removed entirely the glove box. It is exactly like in the owners manual with the difference that is does not have that little lid and those clips, it is entirely encapsulated.

It has to be in that location because it needs to filter air coming into the air box. It's definitely there, a bit more digging in that area will find. They have a plastic box that it slides into. Look around for any other plastic panels that come part. You'll eventually find it, but definitely under the dash on passenger side.
