How to Remove the Air Conditioning Filter in the Envision?
2 Answers
Here are the steps to remove the air conditioning filter in the Envision: 1. The Envision's air conditioning filter is located under the front passenger footwell, near the left foot position. No need to remove any decorative panels or glove compartment. 2. The clips are very difficult to pry open by hand. You can use a flathead screwdriver to firmly push and pull them outward. 3. Insert your fingers and forcefully pull out the old air filter. Start by pulling out one corner first, then sequentially remove the remaining corners. 4. If it's an activated carbon filter, it will be harder to remove - you'll need to slowly work it out. 5. Pay attention to the filter's shape as a reference when installing the new one.
Last time I changed the Envision's cabin air filter, it was actually quite convenient. Just open the glove compartment on the passenger side, empty it, reach inside and feel for a plastic cover on the right side, which usually has two or three clips. A gentle push with your fingers will release it. After removing the cover, pull out the old filter, paying attention to the arrow markings. Insert the new filter in the same orientation and secure it in place. The whole process takes less than 15 minutes. Doing it yourself saves money compared to going to the dealership, and you learn a handy trick in the process. If the cabin air filter gets clogged, the air inside the car becomes stuffy. Replacing it every six months or 10,000 kilometers helps maintain fresh air, which is especially beneficial for people with respiratory issues. Choosing a filter with activated carbon also helps eliminate odors, making it quite practical.
