The cabin air filter of the Citroen C3-XR is located in the central tunnel next to the front passenger's left foot. To replace it, you can use tools to remove two bolts and take off the cover plate. Then you will see another bolt inside. After removing this bolt and taking off the cover plate, the cabin air filter will be visible and can be replaced. The Citroen C3-XR measures 4262mm in length, 1748mm in width, and 1557mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2655mm. The vehicle is equipped with a connected car system that integrates five major functional modules: connected car communication, intelligent navigation services, entertainment information system, vehicle security services, and remote vehicle diagnostics, keeping the owner online and facilitating communication. Additionally, it features the CripControl intelligent multi-road condition adaptation system, enabling one-touch switching between five road condition modes: sand, snow, mud, ESC off, and road. Combined with the performance of the ESC module, it easily handles complex road conditions in both urban and rural areas.
The air filter for the Citroën C3-XR is hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and you need to remove it to access it. When I changed it myself last time, I found it quite simple: first, empty the glove compartment, then pull firmly on both sides of the glove compartment towards you to release it from the clips. At this point, you'll see a long plastic cover—just pinch the clips on both sides and pull it off. Inside, you'll find a white rectangular block with folds, which is the filter. When installing the new filter, pay attention to the direction; there's an arrow on the side of the filter that needs to align with the airflow direction. By the way, the filter size for this car is an activated carbon type measuring 19.5x22.5x3 cm—make sure not to buy the wrong one. It should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers, especially if there's an odor when using the external air circulation.
