The method for replacing the air conditioning filter in the new 408 is: 1. Remove the trim panel on the passenger side; 2. Open the air filter box and take out the old air filter to replace it. The function of the air conditioning filter is to filter the air entering the cabin from the outside, thereby improving air cleanliness. The new 408 is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4750mm, width 1820mm, height 1488mm, wheelbase 2730mm, fuel tank capacity 53L. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 100kW and a maximum power speed of 5500rpm.
I just replaced the cabin air filter for my new 408 last month, and the whole process took about 15 minutes. Open the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat, empty it out and look inside. There are clips on both sides at the bottom - press them firmly towards the center to remove the glove box. Then you'll see the rectangular cabin air filter cover inside, which also has clips on both sides. Press them to remove the cover. The moment I took out the old filter, I was shocked by how much dust had accumulated. Remember to check the arrow direction on the new filter to ensure it matches the airflow direction before reinstalling. Finally, reassemble all parts exactly as they were. The only tool needed is a Phillips screwdriver, but I recommend wearing gloves to avoid scratching your hands. It's safer to disconnect the power before starting. I replace mine every six months - filters bought online for 20-30 yuan work perfectly fine. After replacement, the air from the AC feels noticeably fresher.
