Where is the air conditioning filter of Luxgen U6 located?
3 Answers
Luxgen U6's air conditioning filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. To replace the air conditioning filter, the glove box needs to be removed. Here are the relevant details: 1. Description of the air conditioning filter: The air conditioning filter is a filter installed in the car's air conditioning system. It can absorb dust particles, alleviate respiratory discomfort, reduce irritation for allergy sufferers, and protect the air conditioning cooling system. 2. Function of the air conditioning filter: When the car is running with the air conditioning on, it draws in external air into the cabin. However, the air contains various particles such as dust, pollen, soot, abrasive particles, ozone, odors, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, benzene, etc. Without an air conditioning filter, these particles would enter the cabin, polluting the car's air conditioning system, reducing the performance of the cooling system, and causing allergic reactions, lung damage, irritability from ozone exposure, and unpleasant odors, all of which affect driving safety. A high-quality air conditioning filter can effectively address these issues.
The air filter for the Luxgen U6 is located inside or behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. I've replaced it myself several times. You need to open the glove compartment first—there might be a few clips or screws securing it. Gently pry them open or unscrew them, and you'll see a small drawer-like filter slot. The exact position is on the passenger side; just bend down and look inside. Don’t worry about breaking anything—the U6’s design is quite user-friendly. It’s recommended to replace the filter every 10,000 km or every six months because a clogged filter can cause odors in the car and affect health. If you notice reduced airflow or more dust than usual, it’s a sign to replace it. Buying a compatible filter and replacing it yourself can save you dozens of dollars in labor costs. It’s best to wear gloves to protect against dust during the process, and remember to turn off the engine and power for safety. Though small, this part is crucial—regular maintenance keeps the air inside the car fresh and makes long drives more comfortable.
As a mechanic with years of experience, I've worked on quite a few Luxgen U6 models, and the cabin air filter is typically hidden in the small compartment behind the glove box on the passenger side. To locate it, first remove the glove box liner—usually by pressing open the clips with your hands—and the filter slot will be revealed directly behind. A quick tip: regular replacement is essential, especially after driving on muddy roads or during pollen season, to prevent clogging that can lead to poor cooling or bacterial growth. If you're unfamiliar with the process, it's safer to have a professional check it at the shop; we can usually handle it in about five minutes. Also, the proper functioning of the AC system relies on this filter—a dirty one increases power consumption and affects heat dissipation, and neglecting it for years could damage the blower motor. Personally, I think U6 owners mastering this small skill is quite practical—it's low-cost and enhances driving comfort. Keeping a spare filter in the car makes it easy to replace anytime.
