Which way are you guys putting in your cabin/pollen filter? Airflow towards front of car or towards inside cabin?

The way i understand it in the Hengst manual for E2996LB https://api.hengst.com/import/pdf/5554-312-090002-001.1.pdf - it shows the airflow arrows pointing down, so when you insert the filter with the arrows pointing down they end up pointing towards the front of the car. The Mahle and Mann instructions don't specify proper direction at all.

But common sense would dictate airflow to be towards the cabin, and this theory is supported by my fact that when I took the old filter out the leaf debris was on the side towards the front of the car, meaning to me thats the side the air comes from => airflow towards cabin.

Follow the manual, it's correct. #6 is the cabin filter.
