Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Wuling Zhiguang?

The air conditioning filter in the Wuling Zhiguang is located inside the glove box. The function of the air conditioning filter is to filter dust particles and impurities from the air, providing clean air for the car's air conditioning system. Taking the 2020 Wuling Zhiguang model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 3797mm, width 1510mm, height 1820mm, with a wheelbase of 2500mm and a fuel tank capacity of 38 liters. The 2020 Wuling Zhiguang is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 56kW and a maximum torque of 108Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a longitudinal leaf spring rear suspension.
I've been using the Wuling Zhiguang for cargo transport for three years, so I know all about the cabin air filter. For the older models, it's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side—just press firmly on both sides to remove the glove box, then pry open the plastic cover inside. For newer models, you'll need to remove the plastic cover under the windshield in the engine compartment, right beneath the wipers. This involves taking off the wiper arms and clips, so beginners are better off leaving it to a repair shop to avoid damaging the clips. The filter should be replaced every six months, especially for vehicles frequently used on construction sites—dust buildup can block airflow and increase fuel consumption. Just buy the DK-1301 filter model; it costs around ten yuan, and replacing it yourself can save you fifty yuan in labor costs.
Just helped my wife replace the air filter in her Wuling Sunshine last week. There are two filter locations for this model: For pre-2014 versions, it's inside the glove compartment on the passenger side - empty the compartment, squeeze both sides inward with both hands to remove it completely, then slide the white plastic cover to the left to reveal the filter. For post-2014 models, you need to open the hood, remove the black plastic wind deflector below the windshield, unscrew six cross-head screws, and the filter sits inside the air intake. Remember the arrow mark on the filter indicates airflow direction - don't install it backward. Opt for activated carbon filters that can capture PM2.5 particles.
