Cabin filter location - 2002 Grand Vitara 2.0

Hi

Did a search but couldn't find any reference to this on the forums. I thought I would start doing some simple maintenance on my 2002 GV, including the cabin filter. All the youtube videos and online guides suggest it is slid into a compartment just above the fan unit. On my vehicle I can' t locate it at all. There just doesn't seem to be room (see attached picture.

Does it even have a cabin filter? If so, where is it?

TIA

Not sure about none air conditioned models but if it has one it should be behind the glove box.
There are two tabs in the glove box that allow it to hinge right down for access.

I have removed the glovebox and the picture in my original post shows what is behind it. Looks to me that there is no room for a cabin filter, so (as it doesn't have aircon), I guess it doesn't use one.
