2 Answers
The method to remove the car air conditioning filter is: 1. Open the glove box cover; 2. Locate the fixing buckle on the right side of the glove box and pull it outward with force; 3. Remove the fixing buckle of the glove box cover to detach it; 4. Squeeze both sides of the glove box towards the middle with both hands and take it off; 5. Press the fixing buckles on both sides of the cover plate to remove it. The functions of the air conditioning filter are: 1. To ensure the filter fits tightly against the casing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. To separate dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air; 3. To absorb moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, sulfur dioxide, and carbon dioxide in the air; 4. To prevent the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and safe driving; 5. To maintain clean air in the cabin and prevent bacterial growth.
I once removed the air conditioning filter myself because I noticed a strange odor in the car. The steps aren’t actually that difficult. First, you need to locate the filter—for most car models, it’s behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You’ll have to empty the glove box, then find the clips on both sides of it. Press them inward firmly while pulling the glove box downward to remove it. At this point, you’ll see the filter cover. Gently pry it open to take out the filter. Before removing it, remember to take a photo with your phone to note the orientation, so you don’t reinstall it the wrong way. Once it’s out, don’t rush to put in the new filter—take the opportunity to vacuum out any leaves and dust inside. The whole process takes about 15 minutes. The easiest way is to find a tutorial video online for your specific car model and follow along.
