Where is the cabin air filter located in the Changan CX30?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter of the Changan CX30 is located under the wiper panel in the engine compartment, which needs to be removed for access. Below are additional details: 1. The cabin air filter typically requires replacement every 20,000-30,000 kilometers. 2. Replacing the CX30's filter involves removing the wipers, so it's recommended to have it done at a 4S shop or auto repair shop. Precautions for cabin air filter usage are as follows: 1. Manufacturers generally recommend replacing the cabin air filter every 20,000-30,000 kilometers. However, in practical use, replacement is often needed every 10,000-20,000 kilometers. If the local air quality is poor with severe haze, the replacement interval can be appropriately shortened to every 5,000-7,000 kilometers. 2. During maintenance, the cabin air filter should be cleaned with high-pressure air. As roads tend to be dusty, it's advisable to minimize the use of external air circulation during operation.
I've been driving the Changan CX30 for several years, and the cabin air filter location is quite easy to find—it's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Just open the glove box, look for clips or screws at the bottom or sides, press firmly or unscrew them to remove the glove box, and you'll see a small cover panel. Pry it open to reveal the filter housing. Simply pull out the old filter and replace it with a new one, making sure not to insert it backward—align it according to the arrow direction. I recommend changing it every six months to prevent dusty or musty odors from the AC. Doing it myself saves on maintenance costs and ensures fresh cabin air. The location was designed with DIY convenience in mind, allowing owners to handle it inside the car without touching engine or exterior components. If you're unfamiliar, the clips might be tricky the first time—try a few times or watch online tutorials, but avoid using excessive force to prevent damage. Developing a habit of regular filter changes makes driving much more comfortable.
