Where is the air intake of the Sylphy located?
2 Answers
The air intake of the Sylphy is located on the passenger side, at the lower part of the glove compartment on the dashboard. In terms of configuration, the Sylphy comes standard with an electronic stability control system, tire pressure display, keyless start, and power-adjustable exterior rearview mirrors. The Sylphy's body dimensions are 4631mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1503mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Sylphy is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT continuously variable transmission. The Sylphy features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension, and a unibody construction.
After driving this type of car for several years, I've gained deep personal experience with the air intake location of the Sylphy. It's cleverly concealed at the base of the windshield, precisely in the area beneath the hood. During regular driving, I've developed the habit of cleaning that spot before activating the wipers, because winter snow/ice or fallen leaves tend to block the air intake, compromising the AC's fresh air intake. When the air conditioning underperforms, this area being dirty is usually the culprit. I recommend inspecting it once or twice annually - simply pop the hood yourself to locate that metal or plastic grille. Without regular cleaning, the filter accumulates dust, resulting in weaker airflow and potential odd odors. Having encountered this multiple times, I often skip the repair shop and just use a brush for quick cleaning. The key is preventing debris buildup - otherwise, it not only creates driving discomfort but may also cause system overheating.
