Where is the cabin air filter located in a Mazda 323?
2 Answers
Mazda 323's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. The function of the cabin air filter is to filter and absorb various pollutants, dust, and harmful substances from the outside air, providing better driving and riding environment for occupants. The general replacement cycle for cabin air filters is every 10,000 kilometers. Mazda is a Japanese automobile manufacturer headquartered in Hiroshima, Japan. The Mazda 323 has dimensions of 4365mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1410mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. Its fuel tank capacity is 55 liters, maximum power output is 90kW at 6000rpm, and maximum torque is 160Nm.
I recently replaced the cabin air filter for my dad's old Mazda 323, which is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, you need to empty the glove box, then press the clips on both sides firmly towards the center to release the entire glove box. Behind it, you'll see a black plastic cover that can be easily pried open to reveal the filter slot. Remember to install the filter with the arrow pointing toward the rear of the car to ensure proper airflow direction. DIY replacement can be a bit tricky, so I recommend wearing gloves to avoid getting pricked by plastic burrs, and keeping a small flashlight handy makes the operation easier.
