Where is the air filter located in the 2017 Lavida?

Lavida's air filter is located at the upper right end of the engine compartment (in front of the front passenger seat). The air filter generally needs to be replaced every 10,000-20,000 kilometers. Below are the steps to replace the Lavida's air filter: 1. Open the engine compartment cover; 2. Use a star-shaped screwdriver to remove the screws on the air filter cover; 3. Remove the sealing strip on the edge of the cover, then remove the cover; 4. Unclip the fasteners on both sides of the air filter and remove the old air filter; 5. Inspect the air filter and replace it. If the dirt is not severe, you can simply clean off the dust; 6. Place the new air filter into the filter frame, ensuring the correct orientation; 7. Clip the fasteners, reattach the cover, secure the sealing strip, tighten the screws, and complete the installation.
I just replaced the cabin air filter of my 2017 Lavida. It's located behind the glove box in front of the passenger seat. You need to open the glove box first, then press the small clips on both sides to pull it out, and you'll see a small cover panel inside. Lift the cover, and there's the slot for the filter. It's super easy to replace—I did it in less than 10 minutes without any tools, just pull out the old one and insert the new one. Why care about this location? Because a dirty filter can reduce airflow from the AC, cause strange odors, and affect cabin air quality. I check mine every six months, especially since driving in dusty areas means using the AC more often—replacing it early prevents bacteria buildup. Remembering the location is key, so you can DIY and save money on mechanic visits.
