Where is the cabin air filter located in a Chevrolet Spark?

Chevrolet Spark does not have a cabin air filter. The cabin air filter is a filter installed in the car's air conditioning system that can absorb dust particles, reduce respiratory discomfort, minimize irritation for allergy sufferers, and protect the air conditioning cooling system. Having a cabin air filter also helps safeguard the health of vehicle occupants. The Chevrolet Spark is a compact 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with dimensions of 3545mm in length, 1495mm in width, and 1523mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2340mm. It is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. The vehicle has a top speed of 140 km/h, with front suspension using MacPherson strut independent suspension and rear suspension employing a semi-independent linked trailing arm with coil spring suspension.
I've been driving a Chevrolet Spark for several years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. Replacing it yourself is actually quite simple. First, empty out all items from the glove box. There are clips or screws on both sides of the glove compartment - just pull them open with some force or unscrew them, and you'll see the cabin air filter cover. Open the cover, pull out the old filter, and insert the new one - it's ready to use. The filter location is designed very user-friendly, requiring no crawling under the car or removing other components, making it easy even for beginners. Remember to change it every 10,000-20,000 kilometers or every spring. If not replaced regularly, accumulated dust can cause unpleasant odors when using the AC, which is particularly bothersome for family members with sensitive noses. Last time I delayed replacement, my car developed a musty smell that disappeared immediately after changing the filter - the car even ran smoother afterward. Regular maintenance like this also protects the AC system and extends its lifespan.
