The cabin air filter in the Chery Flagcloud 3 is generally located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below is more information about the cabin air filter: 1. Function: It provides fresh air to the vehicle interior, maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. High-quality cabin air filters can absorb dust particles, reduce respiratory discomfort and irritation for allergy sufferers, making driving more comfortable. 2. Types: There are two types of filters - those without activated carbon and those with activated carbon. 3. Replacement interval: Typically, it should be replaced every 12,000 kilometers, but the replacement cycle can be adjusted according to actual driving conditions and air quality. 4. The cabin air filter is an important component of the car's air conditioning system, preventing external contaminants from entering the system and affecting its normal operation.

Last time I helped my neighbor uncle replace the air filter for his Chery Flagcloud 3, I discovered a little secret—it's actually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You have to remove the entire glove box first. Remember to squeeze both sides of the glove box inward to release it from the tracks, as there are three clips inside that break easily. The filter is hidden behind a white plastic cover, which can be pried open with just your fingernails—don’t make my mistake of scratching the cover with a screwdriver. Changing it yourself is super easy; buying the filter online costs only 20 yuan, while repair shops charge 150 yuan just for labor. Here’s a little tip: make sure the arrow on the new filter points toward the seat when installing it. If installed backward, you’ll hear a loud whooshing noise when the AC is on.

As a veteran Chery Fulwin 3 owner, I must remind you that the filter design is quite hidden. When sitting in the passenger seat with legs stretched out, look down and you'll spot a gap beneath the glove compartment. Actually, there's no need to remove screws as the dealership mechanics suggest. Just press firmly on the movable limit blocks on both sides of the glove box to lower it completely. The plastic housing containing the AC filter is particularly tricky to open - feel for the textured indentation on the right side of the box and pull outward. Remember to replace the filter before rainy season. Last year I skipped replacement and ended up with musty odors blowing through the AC, costing me extra for duct cleaning later.

I personally tested the 13th-gen Chery Flagcloud 3. You need to detach the linkage of the glove box damper on the passenger side. The filter housing is located above the AC blower - just unscrew the cover with a Phillips screwdriver to access it. Pro tip: When checking the filter, remember to clean out the blower fan blades too. Last time I pulled out half a handful of leaves from mine, no wonder the AC was always humming. DIY takes about 15 minutes, way more convenient than queuing at auto parts markets. BTW, the new dual-effect activated carbon filters work great, with double the pollen filtration efficiency.
