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.

As an experienced driver and car enthusiast, I've studied the air conditioning systems of many car models. The Mondeo Zhisheng's cabin air filter is located behind the inner wall of the glove compartment on the passenger side. To access it, first remove items from the bottom of the glove box, then use a screwdriver to remove several small screws or unclip the fasteners. The filter sits waiting in a rectangular slot. I've tried this several times - simple tools are sufficient, but avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging wiring. A dirty filter accumulates dust, not only reducing cooling efficiency but also increasing engine load. I recommend checking it seasonally - making it a habit can save money and protect cabin air quality. The filter's placement is quite cleverly designed, and after replacement, you'll immediately notice restored air flow freshness from the AC.

Daily driving safety should never be taken lightly. I once encountered a coughing issue caused by a clogged filter. The air conditioning filter in the Ford Mondeo is located above the passenger footwell, near the center console. Before starting, empty the glove compartment and pull out the rear cover to access the filter. Not replacing the filter can easily lead to mold growth, affecting health. I recommend changing it at least once a year during inspection, don't delay as it wastes energy and causes odors.
