Where is the cabin air filter located in a 2008 Elysee?

2008 Elysee's cabin air filter is located under the front passenger dashboard, next to the air conditioning vents. Here are the steps to replace the cabin air filter: 1. Open the glove box and pull down the small hook on the right side. 2. Squeeze both sides of the glove box inward to remove it. 3. This is the cabin air filter compartment, release the clips on both sides to pull it out. 4. Pull out the filter frame, install the new filter, and reinstall the glove box. Notes: After being used for a period of time, the activated carbon filtration function in the cabin air filter will diminish. You can purchase a compatible cabin air filter for replacement. Replace it once a month in summer, and it may not need replacement in seasons when the air conditioning is not in use.
I'm very familiar with the location of the air conditioning filter in my 2008 Elysee. It's hidden behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. Changing it myself once was really convenient. Just pull down the glove compartment and you can feel the cover plate. Unscrew a few screws and the filter will be exposed. It's recommended to replace it every six months or 10,000 kilometers, otherwise accumulated dust will affect the air conditioning performance and create a strange smell. I usually just use a Phillips screwdriver. Insert the new filter in the correct position and don't forget to tighten the screws. The whole process takes about ten minutes, saving money by not going to the 4S shop. Keeping the cabin clean also reduces allergens, making the air much fresher when using the AC.
I just learned how to change the cabin air filter myself. On the 2008 Citroën Elysee, it's conveniently located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove box, just press the clips on both sides to pull out the inner liner. The filter cover is secured with plastic clips that can be removed by hand. The filter sits in the center position - compact in size but plays a big role in protecting respiratory health by filtering dust and pollen. Last time I bought a replacement filter online for just a few dozen yuan. No special tools required, not even a screwdriver - it's a hand-only job. After replacement, the AC airflow became noticeably fresher without any irritating odors. Beginners shouldn't worry, just follow the steps and you'll master it quickly. Remember to properly align the glove compartment when reinstalling to prevent looseness and rattling noises.
