The air filter of Dongfeng Fengxing S500 is located under the front windshield. Here is some relevant information: 1. How often the car's air filter needs to be replaced actually depends on the usage situation. Generally, for urban family cars, it can be replaced every six months or once a year. After being used for a period of time, the activated carbon filtration function in the air filter will diminish, so you can buy a compatible air filter from a 4S store for replacement. 2. The air filter can ensure clean air in the passenger compartment without breeding bacteria, creating a healthy environment; it can effectively separate solid impurities such as dust, core powder, and grinding particles in the air; it can effectively intercept pollen, ensuring that drivers and passengers do not have allergic reactions that affect driving safety.
I've seen quite a few Dongfeng Fengxing S500 cars, and the location of its cabin air filter is pretty straightforward—it's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to remove the glove box first, usually secured by clips or screws at the top and bottom. Unscrew or gently pry them open to remove the entire glove box, revealing the filter compartment behind it. The filter slides into a slot with the arrow pointing inward to indicate airflow direction—just pull it out. I recommend replacing it with a new one every six months or 10,000 kilometers. These filters aren't expensive; buying a matching model online costs just a few dozen yuan, and DIY replacement saves both time and money. Don’t underestimate it—a dirty filter reduces AC cooling efficiency and can cause musty odors, affecting driving comfort. Regular replacement also protects the blower fan, extending its lifespan, and is a boon for people allergic to pollen. Once you know the location, check it during routine maintenance to avoid small issues becoming big problems.
