Changan CS35 cabin air filter replacement steps: 1. Locate the fixing buckle on the right side of the glove compartment and pull it outward firmly. 2. After removing the glove compartment, you will see the cabin air filter cover. Press the fixing buckles on both sides of the cover firmly to remove it. 3. Pull out the old cabin air filter outward, then insert the new one and reassemble in reverse order of disassembly. The function of the car cabin air filter is to filter the air entering the cabin from outside, improving air cleanliness, providing a good air environment for passengers, and protecting the health of occupants.
I always change the air conditioning filter for my Changan CS35 by myself, which saves a lot of money. First, buy a CS35-specific air conditioning filter online, and remember to choose one with activated carbon for better filtration. When replacing it, first empty the glove box, press the plastic clips on both sides of the glove box inward and push them while pulling downward, and the entire glove box will drop down. Then you will see the filter slot cover, pinch the clips at both ends to remove the cover, and pull out the old filter, paying attention to the arrow direction. Insert the new filter with the arrow pointing toward the front of the car, making sure it is fully in place to avoid air leakage. Finally, snap the cover back on and push the glove box back into place. The whole process takes about ten minutes, and beginners are advised to turn off the engine and disconnect the power before operating.
Every time I help friends replace the CS35's cabin air filter, I remind them of a few key points: The glove compartment clips are particularly fragile, so avoid using excessive force when pressing them. The arrow on the filter must face the front of the car; installing it backward will reduce airflow. For models with a damper rod in the glove box, support it during removal to prevent breakage. I usually start the car after replacing the filter and run the AC at maximum fan speed for two minutes to ensure the filter fits snugly. It's recommended to replace the filter every six months or 5,000 kilometers, especially in northern areas with lots of willow catkins or humid southern regions. Buying the filter yourself costs only 20-30 yuan, much cheaper than at a 4S shop.
