2 Answers
The air conditioning filter element of the Roewe 550 is located behind the sealing rubber strip in the engine compartment. The following are the functions of the air conditioning filter element: 1. It ensures that the air conditioning filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, and other substances in the air, with strong and long-lasting moisture adsorption capabilities; 3. It prevents the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for the driver and passengers, and safe driving; it supplies fresh air to the passenger compartment, preventing the inhalation of harmful gases and ensuring driving safety; it effectively sterilizes and deodorizes; 4. It maintains clean air in the passenger compartment, preventing bacterial growth and creating a healthy environment; it effectively separates solid impurities such as dust, core powder, and grinding particles in the air; it effectively intercepts pollen, ensuring that drivers and passengers do not experience allergic reactions that could affect safe driving.
The air conditioning filter of the Roewe 550 is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. I remember it took me some effort the first time I replaced it myself. The position is actually quite straightforward: sit in the passenger seat, open the glove box, and you'll find a plastic cover or panel inside. Apply a little force to pry it open or press the clips, and the filter is hidden inside. Removing the old one and replacing it with a new one is simple and takes about three to five minutes. Why pay attention to this location? Because the filter is responsible for filtering dust, pollen, and pollutants from the air. If not replaced in time, it can become clogged or moldy, not only reducing airflow but also breeding bacteria, which can cause odors or respiratory discomfort during long drives. It's recommended to replace it every 10,000 kilometers or every six months—it's cost-effective and good for your health. You don't need professional tools to do it yourself, and compatible filters bought online cost just a few dozen yuan. Though it's a small component, regular maintenance can significantly improve the air quality inside the car.
