Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Chevrolet Epica?

The air conditioning filter in the Chevrolet Epica is located under the black cover in the engine compartment directly in front of the front passenger seat. Below is some relevant information about the air conditioning filter: 1. Functions: (1) It ensures that the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. (2) It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. (3) It absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, with strong and long-lasting moisture absorption. 2. Maintenance: If the filter is dirty, clean it by blowing compressed air from the reverse side. Hold the air gun about 5 cm away from the filter and blow at a pressure of 500 kPa for approximately 2 minutes. The air conditioning filter tends to accumulate a lot of dust; simply blow away the loose dust with compressed air. Never wash it with water, as this can easily damage the filter.
I've been driving my Chevrolet Epica for almost ten years, and I know the location of the cabin air filter like the back of my hand: it's behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to remove the glove compartment first, and after opening it, pay attention to the clips or small screws—be careful not to break them. Once the glove compartment is off, you'll see the cabin air filter slot. I've replaced it several times myself, and changing it every six months or so is ideal—just make sure to get the right filter. This way, the air from the AC won't have any odd smells, and it also protects the engine system. If you're handy, it only takes a few minutes to do, saving both time and money. Don't forget to wear gloves to keep the dust off.
My Chevrolet Epica is just two years old, and I still remember the location of the cabin air filter: it's hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. When removing the glove box, gently release the clips to take it off without damaging anything. The filter can be directly pulled out from its slot and replaced with a new one. I change it every quarter, and buying a standard filter doesn't cost much. Regular replacement helps keep the air inside the car cleaner, reducing coughing while driving. It's a simple operation, and there are YouTube videos teaching how to do it. Give DIY a try!
