Use a flat screwdriver and turn the screw a quarter turn. Lift the cover slightly then pull it towards you.

First, you need to unclip the gray connector pointed out. It is attached from below with a clip. Pass a small flat screwdriver underneath, and unclip while pushing the connector backwards.
-
Then you have to unclip the cables on each side of the calculator. There are 4 clips. Each connector is held by 2 plastic tabs that must be pushed simultaneously and pulling the clip upwards.

-
we unscrew the 4 screws (8mm) which hold the calculator, then we slide all the clips holding the side cables, and we tilt everything (cables and calculator) back

-
you have to unscrew the 7 torx screws that hold the cover. Be careful, some of them come off completely, so do not drop them to the bottom of the engine

There you have it: Remove the filter by lifting it slightly from the back and pulling it backwards (this can be a bit hard...). Clean the air box well (a vacuum cleaner), then install the new filter, taking care to lightly grease the seal, which will make it easier to position.
-
All you have to do now is put everything back together in reverse order. Good luck!
