Where is the air filter located in the Lavida?
3 Answers
The Lavida's air filter is located on the right side of the engine compartment. It is generally recommended to inspect or clean it every 5,000 kilometers, and consider replacement every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers depending on its condition. If owners wish to replace the air filter themselves, they must purchase the exact model specified for the vehicle and preferably choose an air filter with tightly arranged filtration material. The air filter is a device that captures dust from gas-solid two-phase flow through the action of porous filtration materials, thereby purifying the gas. The Lavida's body dimensions are 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm.
I just bought a Lavida and researched the location of the air filter. The in-cabin air filter, also known as the cabin air filter, is actually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You need to open the glove compartment first, then pull it down firmly or remove the retaining clips to see a small compartment where the filter is inserted. I've replaced it myself once before—just remember not to use too much force to avoid breaking the clips. This filter traps dust, pollen, and other particles inside the car, which is crucial for health, especially if you have elderly or children in the car. I usually check it every three months and replace the filter once a year, or more frequently in cities with poor air quality. Replacing it isn't difficult—just buy the right model and it takes only a few minutes. Make sure to choose a reputable brand to protect your respiratory health. The location is quite obvious, and DIY enthusiasts can handle it easily. Proper maintenance can also save you money on air conditioning repairs.
I've been driving a Lavida for many years and am very familiar with its structure. The air filters are mainly located in two positions: the engine compartment and the glove box inside the car. The engine's filter is under the hood, in that black plastic box near the battery—just open the clasp to replace it. The cabin filter behind the glove box is more commonly used; after opening it, remove the clips to see the filter cartridge slot. Both are important: the engine filter protects the engine from dust damage, while the cabin one improves air comfort. I check them regularly, replacing the engine filter every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers and the cabin filter every quarter. Just buy original or reputable brand filters—don’t skimp on cost or effort, as this relates to safety and health. The locations are easy to find, and there’s no technical skill required. Doing it yourself is cost-effective and builds hands-on skills.
