In the Volkswagen Passat, the cabin air filter is located beneath the glove compartment on the passenger side. There is an external cover panel that needs to be removed by unscrewing two plastic screw fasteners. Once the panel is removed, you will see a rectangular cover for the cabin air filter. Pull it horizontally following the arrow direction to remove it. Additional information: 1. Maintenance: If the filter is dirty, clean it by blowing compressed air from the opposite side. Hold the air nozzle about 5 cm away from the filter and use 500 kPa pressure for approximately 2 minutes. The cabin air filter tends to accumulate dust easily, so simply blowing away loose dust with compressed air is sufficient. 2. Precautions: The cabin air filter is prone to collecting dust, so use compressed air to remove surface dust. Over time, the activated carbon filtration function of the cabin air filter diminishes, so it's recommended to visit a 4S dealership for replacement.

Do Airbags Require Maintenance?

Generally, car airbags do not require maintenance. Below is a detailed introduction to car maintenance items: 1. Engine oil and oil filter replacement. This mainly pertains to the lubrication system's maintenance. The primary function of the lubrication system is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear. The oil filter's role is to remove various impurities from the engine oil, ensuring the lubrication system operates normally. The oil filter should be replaced along with the engine oil during an oil change. Under normal circumstances, a car should undergo maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. 2. The air filter's function is to filter the air before it enters the cylinders, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the usage environment. The gasoline filter is typically replaced after driving 20,000-25,000 kilometers. 3. Spark plugs are consumable parts and should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. Additionally, components such as brake fluid, transmission fluid, the battery, throttle body, fuel injectors, and brake pads are all part of the inspection items during routine maintenance, and their maintenance depends on usage conditions.

Why is there a small light flashing continuously when the car is locked?

It is normal for a small light to flash after the car is locked. This is the car's anti-theft light, and its flashing indicates that the car has entered the anti-theft state. Here are some explanations about the car's anti-theft light: 1. The car's anti-theft light generally serves as a warning. When the light is on, it reminds the owner that the vehicle has entered the anti-theft state, and the owner does not need to worry. 2. If the car's engine anti-theft light flashes at a frequency of once every 1 to 2 seconds, it is a normal phenomenon, indicating that the car's engine has entered the anti-theft state and the engine anti-theft system is working. If the anti-theft light does not light up, it is usually caused by a malfunction of the vehicle's anti-theft device or the anti-theft light.
