Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Mitsubishi Lancer?
2 Answers
The air conditioning filter in the Mitsubishi Lancer is located below the right wiper of the car. The functions of the air conditioning filter are: 1. To ensure the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. To separate dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air; 3. To maintain clean air in the passenger compartment, preventing bacterial growth and creating a healthy environment. The Mitsubishi Lancer is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4400mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1415mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2500mm. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power output at 6000 rpm and maximum torque at 4500 rpm.
I've driven my family's Mitsubishi Lancer many times, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Just open the glove box, and you'll see some clips or screws inside. Gently remove them, and the filter housing will be exposed—usually a long plastic frame that you can pull out to replace the filter. I make it a habit to change it every six months or 10,000 kilometers; otherwise, the air inside the car gets unpleasant, especially during pollen season or when kids are riding. It helps filter out dust, pollen, and other particles, keeping the air cleaner. The first time I replaced it myself, it took some time to figure it out, but now that I'm familiar with the process, it's quick and easy, plus it saves money on repair shop visits. Just remember to check the filter's direction when installing it—the arrow should point the right way. If you're unsure how to remove it, check the owner's manual or look up a tutorial video on your phone for reference. It usually takes about ten minutes to finish.
