Sagitar's air conditioning filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below are the steps to replace the air conditioning filter in a Sagitar: 1. First, open the glove compartment on the passenger side, locate and remove the fixing clips to reveal the air conditioning filter cover. 2. Remove the cover and take out the old air conditioning filter. 3. Install the new air conditioning filter and reassemble everything in reverse order of disassembly. Additional Information: During the rainy season, high humidity and temperature can cause the vehicle's air conditioning filter to mold, similar to clothing. If there is an unusual odor in the car and you want to completely eliminate the musty smell and purify the air inside the vehicle, you can inspect and replace the air conditioning filter.

I find it quite easy to change the air conditioning filter for my Sagitar every time. First, you need to open the glove compartment on the passenger side and take everything out. Press the clips on both sides of the glove compartment inward to lower it completely. Look down and you'll see a long cover—just pinch the clips on its sides to remove it. At this point, the old filter will be exposed. When pulling it out, pay attention to the direction, as there’s an arrow marked on it. Insert the new filter in the same direction, making sure not to install it backward, as this could affect the air filtration. Finally, remember to reattach the cover before putting the glove compartment back in place. I usually change it every six months, especially during periods of heavy smog—the air in the car feels noticeably fresher afterward. Doing it myself also saves some money; buying Mahle or Mann filters online costs just a few dozen yuan.

Last week I just replaced the cabin air filter for my Sagitar, and the operation was actually quite simple. Before starting, it's best to prepare a lighting tool as the area behind the glove compartment is a bit dark. First, fully open the passenger side glove box, then press inward on the limit blocks on both sides to remove it. Next, you'll see a black plastic cover - just gently pinch the clips to remove it. When pulling out the old filter, remember the direction of its arrow - the new filter must be installed with the same orientation, which is a key point many beginners tend to overlook. After installation, test the AC to check for any strange odors or noises. Develop good habits - replace it every 10,000 km or when you notice a musty smell, especially in humid southern regions where more frequent changes are needed.

The key steps to replace the Sagitar's cabin air filter are just three: remove the glove box, take off the cover panel, and swap the filter. Just prepare a new filter and a Phillips screwdriver before starting. Press the limiters on both sides of the glove box inward, and it will naturally hang down. The clips on the black cover panel are easy to locate - just pinch them to remove. When pulling out the old filter, pay attention to the airflow direction indicator, then insert the new filter with the arrow pointing the same way. The whole process takes about ten minutes - just be careful not to yank wiring harnesses with excessive force. I prefer replacing it before summer to ensure optimal AC performance. DIY saves half the cost compared to dealership service.
