Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Mondeo Zhisheng?

The air conditioning filter in the Mondeo Zhisheng is installed on the right side of the accelerator pedal in the driver's seat. Steps to replace the Mondeo air conditioning filter: 1. First remove the accelerator pedal for replacement. 2. Open the front passenger door, then open the glove compartment and carefully pry open the trim panel next to it. 3. This trim panel uses a snap-fit design and can be opened with slight force - be careful not to use excessive force. 4. Unscrew the 4 screws on the glove compartment and set them aside. 5. Use your foot to support the removed glove compartment (as there are small light wires connected behind it), then open the clips on both sides of the air conditioning filter cover and pull out the old filter. 6. Install the new filter (pay attention to the direction marked on the filter).
I've been driving for over a decade and often maintain my Mondeo Zhisheng myself. The cabin air filter is hidden above the passenger footwell, specifically behind the glove box area. You'll need to open the glove box, empty its contents, then locate a small cover or clip on the side or bottom of the compartment. Gently press or unscrew it to reveal the filter slot. The position isn't hard to find, but avoid yanking forcefully to prevent damaging plastic parts. I change the filter every 15,000 km myself because a dirty one weakens AC airflow, increases fogging, or worsens odors. Remember the filter's orientation during replacement - installing it backward affects filtration. For convenience, you can visit a dealership, though they often charge more.
