Method for replacing the cabin air filter in a Mazda CX-5: 1. Open the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat and lift the plastic hook on the right side of the glove compartment; 2. Press the sides of the glove compartment with your hands and pull it outward to remove the glove compartment shell; 3. After removing the glove compartment shell, you can see the cabin air filter. Pry the plastic clips on both sides of the filter outward to remove it; 4. Take out the old cabin air filter, replace it with a new one, and then reinstall the glove compartment in the reverse order of removal. The Mazda CX-5 is positioned as a compact SUV with dimensions of 4555mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1710mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It utilizes Skyactiv Technology comprehensively in its engine, transmission, body, and chassis, making it a mass-produced vehicle under the Skyactiv Technology.
I find it quite simple to replace the air filter for my Mazda CX5 by myself. It's usually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side footwell. The first step is to empty the glove box, then gently pull the clips on both sides outward to release the entire glove box. After opening a plastic cover inside, you can see the old filter. When carefully removing it, pay attention to the arrow direction on the filter to note the airflow direction. When installing the new filter, make sure to align it with this direction, otherwise it will affect the air filtration efficiency. After changing it twice myself, the air inside the car feels much fresher, and I save money on garage fees. I recommend replacing it every year or 12,000 km, especially if you live in a city or dusty area. Be careful not to use excessive force to avoid breaking the clips - basically no tools are needed, just wearing gloves to protect against dust at most.
