2011 Tiida cabin air filter is located in the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. Additional information about the 2011 Tiida cabin air filter is as follows: 1. The 2011 Tiida cabin air filter purifies the air entering the vehicle interior from outside, improving air cleanliness and preventing windshield fogging. It typically filters impurities in the air such as microscopic particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust. The purpose of the cabin air filter is to prevent these substances from entering the AC system, thereby protecting the system and providing occupants with a clean air environment that safeguards their health. 2.

I've been driving an 11th-generation Tiida for several years. The cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and you'll need to remove the glove box to access it. First, empty everything from the glove box. There are clips on both sides of the glove box - press them firmly inward all the way, and the entire glove box will flip down. At this point, you'll see a plastic cover. Pinch the clips on both sides of the cover to open it, and you'll find the filter inside. When replacing it, pay attention to the arrow direction - don't install it backward (the arrow usually points downward). For older cars especially, be aware that if the filter isn't changed for too long, it can develop a musty smell. I change mine every six months, especially in humid southern regions where bacteria can grow easily. It's very simple to do it yourself - just buy a compatible filter online for about 30-40 yuan, saving you the hassle of going to a repair shop.
