The steps to replace the air conditioning filter in a Sagitar are as follows: 1. Open the glove compartment on the passenger side, locate and remove the fixing clips. 2. You will see the air conditioning filter cover plate, remove it. 3. Take out the old air conditioning filter, install the new one, and reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly. Functions of the air conditioning filter: 1. Ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. Separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air. 3. Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, and other substances from the air.
Every time I change the Sagitar's cabin air filter, I find it quite effortless with fixed steps. First, sit in the front passenger seat, open the glove box, and there's a small cover underneath—use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw and take it off. After locating the filter, gently pull out the old one, being careful not to break it to avoid dust scattering. Before inserting the new filter, make sure the arrow points toward the AC direction—this is crucial. When reinstalling the cover, secure the screw tightly but avoid excessive torque to prevent stripping. The whole process takes just five minutes. I recommend replacing it every six months to prevent dust buildup and ensure fresher air. OEM filters fit perfectly and are reasonably priced, helping protect the AC system from malfunctions. I also make it a habit to run the AC for a few minutes after replacement to clear any residual dust.
