The air conditioning filter in the Ford Mondeo Zhisheng is located on the right side of the accelerator pedal. The air conditioning filter is used to filter the air entering the engine, removing dust particles from the air to provide clean air for the engine combustion chamber and protect the engine. The Ford Mondeo Zhisheng has a body length, width, and height of 4854mm, 1886mm, and 1495mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. The vehicle features a reduced upper grille area while increasing the lower grille area, with a hexagonal trapezoidal grille that gives the front fascia a more stable appearance. The front and rear light clusters of the Ford Mondeo Zhisheng adopt the currently popular LED light design. Additionally, the rear of the vehicle features a new rear bumper and rear reflectors, while the blackened headlight bases enhance the contrast in lighting. Combined with the use of small spoiler kits at the bottom of the vehicle, it achieves a perfect balance between dynamism and elegance.
The air filter for my Mondeo Zhisheng is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, you'll need to remove the glove compartment first. Open the glove compartment and look up—there are clips on both the left and right sides. Press them inward firmly to detach the entire glove compartment. Inside, you'll find a rectangular plastic cover. Slide it open to pull out the old filter. Remember to install the new filter with the arrow facing downward, otherwise, it may affect airflow. I replace mine every six months, and the whole process takes just two or three minutes, saving me 200 yuan in labor costs compared to going to the dealership. You can buy the filter online for 30 yuan with free shipping—I recommend getting an activated carbon one for excellent odor removal.
The car's cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, requiring glove box removal for access. There are clips on both sides of the glove box - press them simultaneously to remove the entire unit. The working space is quite tight, which might be challenging for people with large fingers. The plastic cover inside can be opened with a simple push, allowing direct removal of the filter. When replacing it yourself, be careful not to forcefully pull plastic components as clips on older vehicles tend to break. While changing my filter, I cleaned the blower fan blades which had accumulated thick dust - no wonder there was a musty smell from the AC. I recommend replacement every 10,000 km or six months, especially after the poplar fluff season.
