2 Answers
The air conditioning filter element in the Mondeo Zhisheng is located on the right side of the driver's side accelerator pedal, and the accelerator pedal needs to be removed for replacement. Below is a detailed introduction to the car's air conditioning filter element: 1. The air conditioning filter, commonly known as the pollen filter. 2. The function of the car air conditioning filter is to filter the air entering the cabin from the outside, improving air cleanliness. The typical filtering substances include impurities in the air, such as tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust. Below is the replacement process for the Mondeo Zhisheng air conditioning filter element: 1. First, the Mondeo Zhisheng's air conditioning filter is located in the corner to the right of the accelerator pedal. Replacement requires removing the accelerator pedal, which is an awkward process with very limited operating space. 2. Open the front passenger door, then open the glove compartment; carefully pry open the decorative panel next to the glove compartment. This panel uses a snap-fit design and can be opened with slight force, but be careful not to use excessive force. 3. Unscrew the 4 screws on the glove compartment and use your foot to support the removed glove compartment because the wires for the glove compartment light are connected behind it. 4. Open the clips on both sides of the air conditioning filter cover and pull out the air conditioning filter element. 5. If the air conditioning filter element is not very dirty, you can gently tap it to remove debris and dust from the gaps. If it is very dirty, it should be replaced with a new filter element. 6. Pay attention to the direction when installing the new filter element.
The air filter for the Mondeo is usually located behind the glove box on the front passenger side. Open the glove box, and you'll typically find a few screws or clips securing it. Remove them to access the filter compartment. I've driven this car for many years and frequently replace the filter, especially during spring and fall when pollen is heavy. If not replaced promptly, the car fills with a dusty smell, making it uncomfortable to breathe. I recommend owners check it every 10,000 kilometers or simply install a new one before summer each year. This ensures fresh air when using the AC and prevents reduced airflow due to system clogs. DIY replacement is straightforward—no special tools needed, and filters are inexpensive, saving significant maintenance costs. Remember the correct location to avoid mistakenly searching the engine bay or under the dashboard, which is usually wrong. For specifics, online tutorials provide reliable guidance.
