Replacing the air conditioning filter in an Elysee is commonly done by removing the glove compartment or the scuttle panel to access the filter. Here are detailed specifications about the Elysee: 1. Space: With a wheelbase of 2652mm and an ultra-large knee room of 787mm, the vehicle offers high stability and ease of operation. 2. Power: It delivers a maximum power of 86kW/6000rpm, the highest in its class. While providing strong power, it also demonstrates low fuel consumption, excelling in performance, economy, smoothness, and reliability. Additionally, it features an asymmetric suspension that mimics human walking frequency, enhancing the driving experience. 3. Air Conditioning Filter Location: Generally, the air conditioning filter in an Elysee is located beneath the front passenger seat. It can be accessed by removing the glove compartment or the scuttle panel to reveal the filter.
I've changed the Peugeot 301's cabin air filter many times. I remember getting the direction wrong the first time and struggling for quite a while. It's located near the passenger side, requiring you to open the glove compartment where there are two clips or small screws—just use a Phillips screwdriver. First, gently pull the glove compartment outward to avoid damage, then you'll see the old filter. When pulling it out, be careful not to scatter dust to avoid inhaling it. When inserting the new filter, make sure the arrow points in the direction of airflow, usually downward or toward the front of the car. The whole job takes about ten minutes, and all you need is a screwdriver and gloves—if you don't have tools, a key can temporarily do the trick. It's best to replace the filter once a year, ideally before winter for better air quality. This way, the heater won’t blow dusty air, which is better for your breathing and saves a lot on maintenance costs. DIY is super cost-effective—shops charge over a hundred, while buying the filter yourself costs just 30-40 yuan.
