The steps to replace the cabin air filter in CS35 are: 1. Locate the fixing buckle on the right side of the glove box and pull it outward with force; 2. Remove the glove box and take off the cabin air filter cover; 3. Locate the cabin air filter and remove the old one; 4. Install the new cabin air filter and reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly. The Changan CS35 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4170mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1670mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2560mm. It is equipped with a 1.6L engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 92 kW and a maximum torque of 160 Nm.

I remember feeling a bit nervous the first time I changed the air filter for my CS35. After turning off the car, I opened the glove compartment on the passenger side, emptied everything inside, then pressed the clips on both sides and gently pulled to remove the cover. The old filter was in a small box and could be pulled out directly. When installing the new filter, pay attention to the direction—the arrow should face downward or forward to ensure effective air filtration. Finally, push the cover back and secure it tightly. The whole process takes just three to five minutes and doesn’t require any professional tools, just be careful not to use too much force and break the clips. It’s recommended to replace it every six months to prevent odors from the air vents, making breathing more comfortable while driving, especially during pollen season to protect your family’s health. Starting to do it yourself is quite simple and saves a lot of money.

As a DIY enthusiast, I find changing the AC filter a piece of cake. On the CS35, the filter is hidden behind the glove box. It's best to wear gloves when removing the clips to prevent nail scratches. Just use a regular household screwdriver to pry open the clips and easily take out the old filter. Before inserting the new filter, check the arrow direction, align it with the slot, and push it in, then confirm the clips are locked. Don't rush during the process—slow and steady wins the race to avoid damaging the glove box mechanism. By the way, a dirty filter can affect AC cooling, breed bacteria, and regular replacement can extend the system's lifespan. I use a standard filter with decent results, changing it twice a year without much hassle.

Replacing the air conditioning filter is to keep the air inside the car cleaner. I only noticed this because my child kept sneezing due to allergies. For the CS35, the filter is located in front of the passenger seat. Open the glove compartment, press the latch to open the small cover, and pull out the old filter. When installing the new filter, just align the arrow with the airflow direction. In general urban areas with more dust, it's recommended to replace it every six months; if you drive less in rural areas, once a year is also fine. This simple step can reduce the inhalation of dust and pollutants, making driving safer—a small investment in health.

Safety is paramount when replacing the cabin air filter. Always park and turn off the engine first. From my experience, keep gloves away from metal parts to prevent static electricity accidents. On the CS35, the filter is located at the bottom of the glove box—empty it first, gently tap the clips to remove the old filter, and quickly install the new one. Make sure the arrow direction is correct to avoid wasted effort. The whole process takes about 15 minutes if done carefully to prevent deforming the glove box. Reminder: Delayed filter replacement leads to cabin odors and bacteria harming respiratory health—inspect biannually and replace promptly.

When choosing eco-friendly filters, I prioritize recyclable materials. The filter location for the CS35 is inside the glove box. The operation involves first removing the clips to easily pull out the old filter, then disposing of it in a dedicated recycling bin. When installing the new filter, ensure the arrow direction is correct before inserting it back, and be careful with the tightening force to avoid damaging the plastic. If you drive less frequently, extend the replacement interval to save resources. Dispose of old filters at recycling stations to reduce pollution. This small habit not only improves air quality but also does a little favor for the planet—simple and cost-effective.
