The method for replacing the cabin air filter in the Mitsubishi ASX is: 1. Open the glove box and remove the upper and lower clips; 2. Remove the glove box to locate and remove the cabin air filter cover; 3. Take out the old cabin air filter and replace it with a new one. Taking the Mitsubishi ASX as an example: its body dimensions are: length 4366mm, width 1780mm, height 1640mm, with a wheelbase of 2670mm. The Mitsubishi ASX features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 124PS, maximum power of 91kW, maximum torque of 149Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving my Mitsubishi ASX for almost three years and have changed the cabin air filter several times myself. It's quite simple. Open the glove box, which is the storage compartment in front of the passenger seat. You need to press the clips on both sides simultaneously or lift it upwards to fully lower the compartment. Then, you'll see a rectangular filter cover at the back, usually secured by a few plastic clips. Gently push or pull to open it and remove the old filter. When taking out the old filter, you might notice a lot of dust and leaves, which can look quite dirty. Before inserting the new filter, make sure to check the direction—there's a small arrow on the filter that should point towards the rear of the car. Installing it the wrong way can affect airflow. After securing the cover and glove box, turn on the AC to test it and ensure the air flows smoothly. It only takes me about 15 minutes to change it myself, saving the cost of going to a repair shop while maintaining a healthy environment. I recommend replacing it every year or every 15,000 kilometers.
