Where is the air conditioning filter in DS6?
2 Answers
The air conditioning filter of DS6 is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. You can find it by removing the glove box. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Under normal working conditions, the service life of an original air conditioning filter is 30,000 kilometers or one year. Regular cleaning of the air conditioning filter can extend its service life. 2. It is best to clean it once a month, especially in the summer when the air conditioning is used frequently. If the vehicle has been used for more than 20,000 kilometers, it is recommended to replace the air conditioning filter. 3. The location of the air conditioning filter varies for different car models. Some air conditioning filters are located under the front windshield of the car and are covered by a drainage trough.
I recently helped a friend deal with his DS6's cabin air filter issue. It's usually hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, you'll need to empty the glove box first and carefully remove the clips or screws on both sides—some models are designed quite user-friendly, allowing easy access with a gentle push. Inside is the filter housing, where the filter is inserted horizontally like a small box. Make sure not to install it backward; the arrow should point toward the interior of the car to effectively filter pollen, dust, and odors. It's recommended to replace it every year or every 15,000 kilometers. I've used both standard and activated carbon types; the latter offers better odor removal but is more expensive. Regular replacement not only protects your respiratory system and prevents cabin air pollution but also reduces the load on the AC system, extending its lifespan and saving you a lot of hassle.
