Where is the Air Conditioning Filter Located in the Panamera?
2 Answers
The air conditioning filter in the Panamera is located inside the footwell panel on the passenger side. The functions of the air conditioning filter are: 1. Providing fresh air: It prevents the car windows from fogging up and supplies fresh air to the passenger compartment; 2. Ensuring safety and hygiene: It keeps the air in the passenger compartment clean and prevents bacterial growth; 3. Adsorbing harmful substances: It absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, and CO2 from the air. The Panamera is the Chinese name for Porsche's Panamera model. Its body dimensions are 5049mm in length, 1937mm in width, and 1423mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2950mm and a top speed of 270km/h.
I've personally changed the air conditioning filter on my Panamera a few times and found it hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To access it, you first need to adjust the seat to a comfortable position, then gently push open the glove box—there are some small clips or screws securing the panel inside. Once removed, you'll see a rectangular black cover, and the filter is hidden underneath. Every time I replace it, I manage with simple tools like a screwdriver, no need for professional help. Just remember to choose the correct filter model—Panamera's filters are usually a bit larger. Regular replacement is super important, about once a year or every 15,000 kilometers, which effectively reduces dust and odors inside the car. Especially on rainy days when using the AC, you can noticeably feel the air is fresher. I've shared my experience on social media, and many friends have feedback that DIY saves money and allows you to check if the air ducts are blocked to prevent mold issues.
