The method for replacing the air conditioning filter in the Elysee is: 1. Locate the air conditioning filter position under the front passenger seat; 2. Use a screwdriver to remove the cover plate above it; 3. Pull out the old air conditioning filter by hand; 4. Replace it with a new air conditioning filter. The Elysee has a body length, width, and height of 4427mm, 1748mm, and 1476mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2652mm and a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The Elysee features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 117PS, a maximum power of 86kW, and a maximum torque of 150Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've replaced the cabin air filter of my Citroen Elysee several times, which is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. First, clear out any debris inside, then pinch the clips or stoppers on both sides of the glove box and gently push it downward to let it hang completely. At this point, you can see the filter cover. Use a flat-head screwdriver or simply pry open the cover with your hands, pull out the old filter, and pay attention to the installation direction—the arrow usually points downward, indicating the airflow direction. When inserting the new filter, align it with the slots and ensure the arrow direction matches to avoid misalignment. Reattach the cover, reassemble the glove box, and test if the air conditioning airflow is smooth. The whole process is simple, requires no professional tools, and can be done in about 10 minutes. It's recommended to replace it every six months, especially if you drive in dusty urban areas. Delaying replacement can clog the airflow and lead to unpleasant odors inside the car. After installing a new filter, the air feels much fresher, and it helps protect the AC system from malfunctions. DIY saves money and hassle, but be gentle to avoid damaging the plastic clips.
