Where is the air conditioning filter located on the Roewe 550?

The air conditioning filter of the Roewe 550 is located behind the sealing strip in the engine compartment. Its functions are: 1. Filtering the air entering the cabin; 2. Absorbing moisture from the air; 3. Maintaining clean air to prevent bacterial growth. Taking the 2014 Zhi Xuan Edition Roewe 550 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4648mm, width 1827mm, height 1483mm, wheelbase 2705mm, and fuel tank capacity 62 liters. The 2014 Zhi Xuan Edition Roewe 550 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 133PS, maximum power of 98kW, and maximum torque of 170Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
The air filter for the Roewe 550 is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. I've replaced it myself several times. First, you need to remove the glove compartment by gently pressing the clips on both sides to release it. Then, you'll see a plastic cover—just slide it aside to reveal the filter slot. It's best to wear disposable gloves when removing the old filter to avoid getting your hands dirty with dust. Make sure to install the new filter in the correct direction; there's an airflow arrow on it that should point toward the rear of the car. I usually replace it every six months and always before summer to prevent musty smells in the AC. It's a simple DIY job—buying the filter online costs around 20 yuan, while getting it done at a shop would cost over 100 yuan.
