Where is the air conditioning filter located in the 12 Yuexiang?
2 Answers
12 Yuexiang air conditioning filter is located in front of the front passenger seat. Below is the relevant introduction about the air conditioning filter: 1. Function: Ensures clean air in the cabin without breeding bacteria, creating a healthy environment. It effectively separates solid impurities such as dust, core powder, and grinding particles from the air. It also effectively intercepts pollen, ensuring that drivers and passengers do not experience allergic reactions that could affect driving safety. 2. Cleaning method: If the filter is dirty, clean it by blowing compressed air from the opposite side. Hold the air gun about 5cm (centimeters) away from the filter and blow at a pressure of 500kPa for approximately 2 minutes. The air conditioning filter is very prone to accumulating dust, and compressed air can be used to blow away the floating dust.
Last winter, while driving my family's 2012 Changan Yuexiang for errands, I suddenly noticed a musty smell coming from the air vents and realized it was time to replace the cabin air filter. The filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To access it, fully open the glove box, and you'll see a plastic cover on the inner wall, usually secured with clips. Gently pry it open with your hands or use a Phillips screwdriver if there are screws. Inside is the cabin air filter slot. Pull out the old filter, remember the orientation of the new one (the arrow should point upward), insert it back, and close the cover. The whole process is straightforward and typically takes about 10 minutes, requiring only your hands or a simple screwdriver. I think changing the filter is quite important, especially for someone like me who suffers from pollen allergies. Replacing it every six months reduces odors inside the car and prevents bacterial growth, keeping the air fresh and improving the driving experience. Cheap filters on Taobao cost around 20 yuan, while OEM ones are about 50. Frequent replacements are far better than neglecting them—they don't affect the AC's lifespan and even save fuel.
