Where is the air filter located in a smart car?

The air filter in a smart car is located on the right side of the accelerator pedal. By bending down, you can see the cover of the air conditioning filter element. Remove the cover to replace the air conditioning filter element. The air filter is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air. It consists of two parts: the filter element and the housing. The air filter is characterized by high filtration efficiency, low flow resistance, and the ability to be used continuously for long periods without maintenance. The smart car is a product of the collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and the watch giant Swatch. Taking the smart fortwo as an example: its length, width, and height are 2695mm, 1663mm, and 1555mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 1873mm. It is equipped with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission and has a fuel tank capacity of 28L.
I've been driving a Smart car for a while, and the air filter is located behind the glove box. Simply put, you open the glove box (usually by pulling it down or pressing the clips to remove it), and there's a small panel or cover inside. Unscrew it, and you'll see the filter. Replacing it is very easy—just buy a compatible filter and insert it yourself. There are plenty of tutorials online for reference. Remember to change it regularly, either annually or every 15,000 kilometers. Otherwise, dust buildup can weaken the airflow from the AC, cause odors, and even affect fuel efficiency. Last time I forgot to replace it, my nose got really itchy while driving. After replacing it with a new filter, the air inside the car immediately felt fresher, and the driving experience improved. Don’t underestimate this small task—it helps keep your car in good health.
