The air conditioning filter in the Wuling Sunshine is located behind the glove box. You can see the air conditioning filter by moving the glove box downward to detach the upper baffle. The functions of the car air conditioning filter and the hazards of not having one are as follows: Functions of the car air conditioning filter: It can adsorb moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air; it has strong and lasting moisture adsorption capabilities. It ensures that the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. It provides fresh air to the passenger compartment and effectively intercepts pollen, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air. It prevents car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and enhancing driving safety. Hazards of not having an air conditioning filter: Without an air conditioning filter, particles entering the cabin can contaminate the car's air conditioning system and reduce the performance of the cooling system. Inhaling dust and harmful gases can cause allergic reactions, lung damage, and irritation from ozone, leading to mood disturbances and discomfort from odors, all of which compromise driving safety.
My Wuling Zhiguang has been in use for several years, and its cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. I replace it regularly to maintain fresh air inside the car. You need to open the glove compartment first, possibly by removing the small clips on both sides, then you'll see the cover. Unscrew the screws to take out the old filter and install the new one. The placement is quite reasonable, close to the air intake to effectively filter dust and pollen. If there's an odd smell when using the AC in summer, it's usually because the filter is clogged. I buy the filters online and replace them myself, costing just about ten yuan, saving the time of visiting a repair shop. It's best to replace it every six months or so, or check it when you notice reduced airflow after driving. This small step really enhances driving comfort.
As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, I've found that the Wuling Zhiguang's cabin air filter is installed behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. The operation is quite intuitive: after opening the glove box, locate the plastic cover on the upper rear wall and gently pry it open to expose the filter slot. This positioning is designed for easy maintenance and prevents external moisture from affecting the filter paper's performance. I recommend not waiting until it's broken to replace it—urban air is poor and dusty, and a new filter can reduce coughing and allergy issues. No complicated tools are needed; just a screwdriver will do, and doing it yourself can save 50 yuan. Remember to choose original or compatible models, as incorrect sizing can affect the sealing effect. This small detail ensures the air conditioning system operates efficiently.
