Where is the air conditioning filter located?
2 Answers
The car's air conditioning filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. Here are the extended details: 1. After opening the glove box, first release the clips on both sides. 2. Once the glove box is removed, you can find the air conditioning filter. 3. The cover plate of the air conditioning filter has fixing clips on both sides; releasing these clips allows you to pull out the filter. 4. Install the new filter following the correct installation direction. 5. Finally, reattach the cover plate of the air conditioning filter. 6. The original air conditioning filter has a service life of 30,000 kilometers or one year. Regular cleaning of the air conditioning filter can extend its service life.
I've driven several car models and noticed that the air conditioning filter is often located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. First, you open the glove box, remove any items inside, then press the clips or buttons on both sides and gently push to remove it. Behind it, you'll usually find a rectangular plastic cover or small door. Unscrew the screws or use a card to pry open the cover, and inside is the air conditioning filter. I've replaced it myself a few times and find it quite convenient—all you need is a screwdriver and a vacuum cleaner. It's recommended to replace the filter every six months or every 10,000 kilometers, especially before spring or summer, to effectively prevent moldy odors and poor air quality inside the car. Always turn off the air conditioning before replacing to avoid accidental fan activation. The design may vary slightly between different car models, but most newer vehicles follow this layout.
