The method for replacing the cabin air filter in the BAIC Senova X25 is: 1. Press the plastic clip under the glove box and pull the plastic panel of the glove box outward to remove it; 2. After removing the plastic panel, you can see the car's cabin air filter box. Press the plastic clip on the cabin air filter box and take out the old filter; 3. After removing the cabin air filter box, replace it with a new one and reinstall it following the reverse order of the removal process. Taking the 2017 BAIC Senova X25 Automatic Elite Navigation Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4110 mm, width 1750 mm, height 1583 mm, and wheelbase 2519 mm.
As a car enthusiast who frequently tinkers with my BAIC Senova X25, changing the air conditioning filter is actually quite simple. Open the glove compartment on the passenger side, and you'll find clips on both sides inside. Gently press them with your fingers to remove the entire glove compartment. Then, you'll see a rectangular plastic cover—pry it open to take out the old filter. When installing the new filter, make sure the arrow points downward, as this indicates the airflow direction. The whole process requires just a screwdriver or can even be done barehanded, taking only 10-15 minutes. Buying the filter online costs just 20-30 yuan, much cheaper than at a 4S shop. I recommend replacing it once a year, especially in areas with poor air quality. After replacement, the air from the AC will feel fresher and odor-free. Beginners worried about damaging anything can first watch online video tutorials for detailed, step-by-step guidance. When reinstalling the glove compartment, check the clips to ensure there are no gaps. Opt for activated carbon filters for better filtration, and regular maintenance will extend your AC's lifespan. If the old filter is extremely dirty, clean the dust off the cover plate during car washing to ensure smoother airflow.
I often change the air conditioning filter myself. For the BAIC Senova X25, it's located directly behind the glove box. First, empty the glove box, press the clips on both sides, and the glove box will come off easily. Lift the plastic cover below to find the filter position. Remove the old filter and insert the new one in the direction of the arrow (don't put it in backward). Then reattach the cover and snap the glove box back into place. All you need are your hands and a screwdriver, and it takes less than 10 minutes. Replace the filter every year or every 10,000 kilometers—it's cost-effective and practical. Doing it yourself saves money compared to going to a shop, and you can buy standard-sized filters online. Choose a sunny day for the task to avoid humidity. After changing, test the air conditioning to ensure even airflow. Be careful when resetting the glove box to avoid pulling parts out of place, and keep the details tidy for a safer driving environment.
