How to Replace the Air Conditioning Filter in a Tiida?

Method for replacing the air conditioning filter in a Tiida: First, remove all the screws inside and outside the glove box, pull out the entire glove box, locate the air conditioning filter cover at the bottom of the center console, open the cover to reveal the white air conditioning filter inside, pull out the old filter, insert the new one, close the cover, and then reinstall the glove box. When the air conditioning's external circulation is turned on, the air conditioning filter can block tiny invisible particles in the air, such as dust, powder, and various unpleasant odors, ensuring that the air entering the car is clean. If the air conditioning filter is very dirty, these invisible bacteria and microdust will be blown into the car through the air conditioning vents and inhaled into the lungs. The Tiida's body dimensions are 4250 mm in length, 1695 mm in width, and 1535 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm, a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters, and front-wheel drive.

I've been driving my Tiida for several years, and changing the air conditioning filter myself is super easy—it's located right behind the glove box. First, fully open the glove box, and you'll find a clip on each side. Press them gently to remove the entire glove box, revealing the filter cover inside. Use a small tool or your fingernail to pry open the cover, then pull out the old filter, noting that the arrow direction usually points downward. When buying a new filter online, choose the matching model, and make sure to insert it with the correct orientation. Close the cover and reinstall the glove box. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes, requires no professional tools, and costs just a few dozen yuan. I think replacing it every six months is best, especially after frequent AC use, to maintain fresh airflow and prevent bacterial buildup. After changing it, I always test the airflow and feel the air in the car is much cleaner, saving me the hassle of visiting a repair shop.

Last time when the AC vent had a moldy smell, I decided to replace the air filter of my Tiida by myself. The steps were quite straightforward: park and turn off the car, open the glove compartment on the passenger side, press and release the small clips on both sides to let the glove compartment fold down. Inside, there's a plastic cover that can be gently pried open; pull out the old filter and discard it. When inserting the new filter, make sure the arrow mark faces the airflow direction, then cover it back and reset the glove compartment. I bought the filter online at a very cheap price. It took me about 15 minutes the first time as I was a bit unfamiliar, but everything went smoothly. Now the AC air is odor-free, and regular replacement can also reduce allergens. I recommend beginners to follow video tutorials like I did, replacing it every six months is economical and convenient.

A friend who often works on cars told me that replacing the air filter in a Tiida isn't complicated: After turning off the engine, remove the clips on both sides of the glove box to take out the box, then pry open the filter cover to remove the old filter. Install the new filter with the arrow direction matching the old one to avoid reducing airflow. After reassembling everything, start the engine to test. It's recommended to replace it every six months to maintain air quality, and choosing an antibacterial filter is even better.

I just learned how to replace the air filter for the Tiida a few months ago. Start by turning off the engine and opening the glove box, then push the clips on both sides to lower the glove box and access the filter cover. Remove the old filter and insert the new one in the correct direction before reassembling. My friend emphasized safety, advising against forcing anything apart, and suggested replacing it during spring and autumn to prevent dust buildup. The air feels so fresh after the replacement.

For family use, shuttling kids back and forth, I regularly change the Tiida's cabin air filter to maintain air quality. The operation is inside the glove box: open the compartment, press to release the clips and remove it, then open the cover to take out the old filter. Install the new filter in the direction of the arrow and reset it. I choose antibacterial type and replace it every six months to reduce bacterial risks. The best effect is achieved during seasonal changes.
