How to Replace the Cabin Air Filter in a 2014 Sagitar?

14 Sagitar cabin air filter replacement steps are as follows: 1. Move the front passenger seat to its rearmost position. Unscrew the two plastic nuts counterclockwise by hand, then gently pull out the thin black partition panel. 2. Using a flashlight, you'll find a plastic bracket underneath. Push the bracket parallel to the right to release the clip. 3. After removing the cover panel, slowly pull out the cabin air filter by both ends, noting its orientation, then install the new one accordingly. The functions of the cabin air filter are as follows: 1. Ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. Filters out solid impurities from the air such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles. 3. Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, and CO2 from the air. 4. Prevents windshield fogging to maintain clear visibility for safe driving; provides fresh air to the cabin to protect occupants from inhaling harmful gases; effectively sterilizes and deodorizes.
I recently changed the cabin air filter on my 2014 Sagitar, and it's actually a pretty simple job that can save you a few dozen bucks in maintenance fees. First, you need to sit in the passenger seat, open the glove compartment, and empty its contents. Then, look to the right side of the glove compartment—there's a small plastic knob or clip. Press it to completely remove the glove box. Behind it, you'll see a square cover; just gently pry it open, and the old filter is hidden inside. When removing it, note the direction—the arrow on the new filter should face upward, aligned with the airflow direction when reinstalling. The whole process only requires a Phillips screwdriver (you might not even need tools) and takes about 15 minutes. Remember to replace it every six months or every 10,000 kilometers—fresher air makes driving much more pleasant.
As a neat car owner, changing the air conditioning filter makes me feel the interior is healthier. For the 14 Sagitar, the operation is very simple: open the glove box, find the right clip and pull it out, then slowly remove the glove box—the filter cover is right behind it. When removing the old filter, pay attention to its direction; just insert the new filter with the arrow facing upward. Only hands were needed for the job, not even a screwdriver. The whole process took just 5 minutes and was completely mess-free. Regularly replacing the filter helps remove dust and odors, keeping the air fresh, which is also good for the skin. I recommend choosing filters from reputable brands to ensure quality. Remember to wear gloves to avoid transferring dust from your hands to the new filter for better results.
