The cabin air filter in the 2017 Peugeot 308 is located beneath the right front windshield, positioned between the rain gutter and the engine firewall. When driving with the air conditioning on, the system draws outside air into the vehicle cabin. However, this air contains various particles such as dust, pollen, soot, abrasive particles, ozone, odors, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, benzene, etc. Without the cabin air filter's filtration, these particles entering the cabin would not only contaminate the air conditioning system and reduce cooling performance, but also cause allergic reactions, lung damage, ozone-induced irritation, and odor-related discomfort - all of which compromise driving safety. Steps for replacing the cabin air filter: 1. Turn off the engine (do not start the vehicle). 2. Locate the engine hood release lever at the lower left of the driver's footwell, lift it to release the primary latch, then open the secondary latch to raise the hood. 3. Secure the hood with the support rod. 4. Using a 10mm wrench, remove the three to four bolts securing the right front windshield rain gutter cover near the engine firewall. 5. After removing the protective cover, the hidden cabin air filter will be visible. 6. Remove the old filter and install the new one. 7. Reassemble components in reverse order of removal.

(3) Use both hands to pull and remove the passenger-side A-pillar interior trim. (4) Use a screwdriver or flathead screwdriver to remove the B-pillar interior trim, leaving a small gap between the headliner and the B-pillar trim. 2. The second step is to connect the rear wiring. (1) Connect the front and rear wiring to the front lens CAM-IN. (2) Use your hands to tuck the wiring into the gap between the windshield and the headliner. (3) Conceal the wiring inside the upper part of the A-pillar interior trim. (4) Tuck the wiring into the gap between the passenger-side body and the headliner. (5) Insert the wiring into the gap between the B-pillar interior trim and the headliner. (6) Connect the wiring to the rear camera. Organize the remaining wires to complete the installation. (7) After installing the rear camera at the top center of the rear glass, tuck the rear wiring all the way into the C-pillar interior trim, between the headliner and the rear glass. (8) Insert the rear wiring into the gap between the C-pillar interior trim and the headliner. (9) Use insulating tape to organize the remaining rear wiring.

Is it necessary to service the car at a 4S shop after three years?

You don't have to service the car at a 4S shop; you can choose to service it elsewhere. Servicing outside is relatively cheaper. In the first three years, 4S shops offer some free services, so many choose to service there. Although 4S shop services are more expensive, they are relatively more formal, and the tools and materials used are also better. Related introduction: 1. Car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the regular preventive work on the car, including inspection, cleaning, replenishment, lubrication, adjustment, or replacement of certain parts. 2. Car maintenance process: The car maintenance process involves using production tools to maintain the car according to certain technical requirements, classified based on the characteristics of the operations and execution conditions.

How to Deal with High Tire Pressure Alarm?

Methods to handle high tire pressure alarm: Unscrew the plastic cap of the tire valve, gently press the center of the valve with an object like a chopstick, and you will hear the sound of air escaping and feel the air being released. Release to stop. While releasing air, use a tire pressure gauge to check the actual tire pressure against the tire pressure label on the side of the tire until it meets the standard. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: 1. The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance, causing steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort, accelerating the moderate elongation deformation of the tire tread, and reducing the elasticity of the tire body. This increases the load on the car while driving and reduces its resistance to punctures. 3. When encountering sharp objects such as nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and bursts, leading to a blowout.

How to Turn on the Air Conditioning in a Manual Transmission Car?

After starting the car and waiting for the engine to stabilize, first press the AC switch, then select the cold air mode, followed by turning on the fan speed button, and finally adjust the air vent direction to activate the air conditioning. Below is an introduction to the car air conditioning system: 1. Introduction to Car Air Conditioning: The car air conditioning system consists of a compressor, condenser, throttle element, evaporator, fan, and necessary control components, designed to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the vehicle, providing a comfortable environment for the driver. 2. Working Principle: When the compressor operates, it sucks in low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator. After compression, the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant increase, and it is sent to the condenser. Inside the condenser, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant transfers heat to the outside air passing through the condenser, causing it to liquefy and turn into a liquid. The liquid refrigerant then flows through the throttle device, where its temperature and pressure decrease, and it enters the evaporator. Inside the evaporator, the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the inside air passing through the evaporator, causing it to evaporate and turn into a gas. The gas is then sucked back into the compressor for the next cycle.

Why is the Volkswagen Beetle expensive?

There are two main reasons why the Volkswagen Beetle is expensive: it is an imported car and it has a rich history or heritage. Below is a detailed explanation: 1. The Beetle is an imported car: Imported cars incur additional taxes, which naturally makes them more expensive. Moreover, imported cars go through numerous transportation processes, increasing costs. 2. The Beetle's historical heritage: Buying a Beetle is about nostalgia, not cost-effectiveness. Strictly speaking, the Beetle offers very poor value for money. Apart from its attractive appearance, other aspects (configuration, power, space, etc.) are outperformed by cars in the same price range. Its cute and rounded design is its biggest competitive advantage.
