I've been driving the Outlander for several years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. You'll need to remove the glove box first - it's quite simple: there are usually several plastic clips at the bottom that can be released with a gentle push. Once removed, you'll see a rectangular cover panel. Lift it up, and the filter is hidden inside. When replacing the old filter with a new one, pay attention to the arrow direction to avoid installing it backwards. It's best to replace it annually or every 12,000 km, especially during rainy or dusty seasons, otherwise you might notice odors and reduced cooling efficiency. I do it myself to save time and money - just need a screwdriver. Choose an activated carbon filter to better capture pollen and dust, which is healthier when you have kids at home. The location is somewhat hidden but thoughtfully designed for safety against accidental contact. Don't forget to empty small items from the glove box before removal to prevent losing them.
