Steps to replace the air conditioning filter in the Envision: 1. First, open the glove box cover and locate the fixing clip on the right side of the glove box. Pull it outward with force. 2. Remove the fixing clip of the glove box cover to detach it. 3. Squeeze both sides of the glove box towards the center with both hands, and the glove box can then be removed. 4. After removing the glove box, you will see the air conditioning filter cover. Press the fixing clips on both sides of the cover with force, and the cover can be removed. 5. Pull the old air conditioning filter outward. 6. Insert the new air conditioning filter and restore it to its original position in the reverse order of disassembly (pay attention to the installation direction of the air conditioning filter). Related information about replacing the air conditioning filter in the Envision: 1. The replacement interval for the Envision's air conditioning filter mainly depends on the external environment. 2. Under normal conditions in China, the maintenance cycle for the vehicle's air filter is approximately every 10,000 kilometers or every six months. However, if the vehicle is used in areas with severe smog, it is best to replace it every three months.

Last time I changed the Envision's cabin air filter myself, I found it quite simple. First, remove all items from the glove box, then firmly squeeze both sides of the compartment to release the retaining clips, allowing the entire glove box to be removed. Behind it, you'll see a plastic cover with clips that opens easily with a gentle pry. The old filter is usually extremely dirty, covered in dust and leaves—remember to note the direction of the arrow when removing it. The most crucial part of installing the new filter is ensuring the arrow points downward; installing it backward affects filtration efficiency. After installation, test the AC airflow to ensure it's normal, then reattach and secure the glove box. The whole process takes less than 20 minutes. I recommend replacing it every 10,000 kilometers or when you notice odors—it's vital for respiratory health.

As a seasoned driver who often helps friends with car issues, I believe the most important thing when changing the air filter in the Envision is paying attention to details. First, empty the glove compartment to avoid obstructions, then press both sides of the compartment inward with both hands to release it from the limit rods, and gently pull out the entire glove compartment. The rectangular filter cover at the back has flexible clips that can be pried open with a fingernail. When removing the old filter, note the installation direction—the arrow on the new filter must point downward, corresponding to the airflow direction. After installation, remember to turn on the AC to test the airflow and ensure there are no unusual noises before reassembling the glove compartment. By the way, I recommend choosing an activated carbon filter for better odor removal—it only costs a few dozen yuan more.

The cabin air filter in my Envision is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. I've replaced it three times myself. The steps are quite simple: Empty the glove compartment, firmly squeeze both sides to release the hooks and remove it, then open the rear cover panel. The old filter was completely covered in dust when pulled out, while the new one just needs to be inserted with the arrow pointing downward. The key is to ensure proper alignment with the slots - improper installation may cause air leakage. After installation, test the AC to ensure it works normally before reassembling the glove compartment. I recommend replacing it every six months, especially during spring in northern regions when there's abundant willow catkins.

When replacing the Envision's cabin air filter for the first time, I studied the manual: First remove the glove box by pressing inward on both sides with both hands to release the limiters. After opening the rear cover, you'll see the white filter - pay attention to the arrow direction when removing it to avoid incorrect installation. Ensure the new filter is fully inserted into the slot with the arrow mark facing downward to indicate airflow direction. You'll hear a click when resetting the cover clips. Finally, reinstall the glove box and test. The entire process took just 15 minutes, saving 200 yuan in labor costs compared to going to the 4S shop, while also ensuring filter quality.
