Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Tiida?

The air conditioning filter in the Tiida is located beneath the dashboard center console. The access cover for filter replacement is on the passenger side, positioned right at the bottom edge of the glove compartment. Lying on the passenger side floor, you can see the sealed cover. Removing this cover will reveal the air conditioning filter inside. The Tiida is a compact car under Dongfeng Nissan, with dimensions of 4393mm in length, 1766mm in width, and 1539mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of power, the Tiida is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 122, a maximum torque of 155 Nm, and a maximum power output of 90 kW.
I remember last time I changed the air conditioning filter for my Tiida myself, it was inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove box, you need to press the clips on both sides inward to let the entire glove box hang down. Then you'll see a long rectangular cover inside with plastic clips on both sides - just gently pry it open. The filter is hidden behind this cover and can be pulled out along the slot. Doing it myself saved me about 100 yuan, while the 4S shop would charge over 300. Nowadays buying filters online is especially cheap - even activated carbon ones cost just over 30 yuan. After replacement, the car smells much fresher. I recommend changing it at least twice a year, especially when there's a musty smell from the AC. Beginners should remember to turn off the engine and power before operation to avoid scratching the inner wall of the glove box.
The air filter in the Tiida is quite well-hidden. I just replaced it last month. It's located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. To access it, you'll need to empty the glove compartment first, then press the inner walls on both sides firmly towards the center to fully lower the glove box. Once it's down, look inside to find a rectangular cover with clips. Remove the cover to reveal the filter slot. Pay attention to the direction – there's an airflow arrow on the side of the filter, don't install it backwards. DIY replacement is the most cost-effective, a high-quality filter only costs around 20 yuan. I make it a habit to change it once in spring for pollen protection and once in autumn for leaf protection, which keeps my throat from itching when using the AC. When reinstalling the glove box, lift it slightly to ensure the clips fasten securely.
