Method for removing and replacing the air filter: 1. There is a black plastic panel on the upper part of the passenger footwell with two retractable clips. Press the clips to remove the panel. 2. Then disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, remove the body computer, and take off the bracket that holds the body computer. 3. Next, remove the panel on the left side of the passenger footwell, which is secured by four screws, and then proceed with installation. Below is some relevant information: The function of the air filter is to prevent such substances from entering the air conditioning system and damaging it. The filter also efficiently filters and adsorbs particulate impurities, achieving oil filtration and air purification performance, while effectively removing organic gases such as TVOC, benzene, phenol, ammonia, formaldehyde, xylene, and styrene. It is an ideal material used as an automotive air filter in various high-end cars, sedans, and commercial vehicles.
When I first got my Lavida, I tried replacing the air conditioning filter myself and found it quite simple. Remember to empty the glove compartment on the passenger side first to avoid items falling out. Then press the clips on both sides of the glove compartment evenly – don't use too much force or the clips might break. After removing the glove box, you'll see a small black cover inside. Just flip it downward gently to open it, and you'll find the old filter there. Pull it out, paying attention to the direction – there's an arrow indicating airflow, so don't install it backward. Install the new filter, snap the cover back in place, and reattach the glove box. The whole process took me about 20 minutes, saving over 100 yuan in labor costs at the dealership. The key is to replace the filter regularly, ideally once a year, to keep the air fresh inside the car and prevent kids from coughing or sneezing. Always perform this operation with the engine turned off for safety and to avoid injuring your hands. The glove box clips are plastic, so handle them gently and don't rush.
