Where is the cabin air filter located in the Dongfeng Citroen C4L?

The cabin air filter in the Dongfeng Citroen C4L is located beneath the windshield wiper drainage channel in the engine compartment. It requires removal of the clips and interior trim panel for access. The functions of the cabin air filter are: 1. Providing fresh air inside the vehicle; 2. Absorbing moisture and harmful substances from the air; 3. Maintaining air cleanliness to prevent bacterial growth, ensuring safety and hygiene; 4. Filtering solid particles from the air. Taking the 2019 manual comfort version Dongfeng Citroen C4L as an example, its body structure is a four-door five-seater sedan with dimensions of 4675mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1500mm in height, a wheelbase of 2710mm, a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters, and a trunk capacity of 435 liters.
I've seen quite a few Dongfeng Citroën C4L cars where the cabin air filter is located right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. The exact position is: open the glove box, and you might find plastic clips or small screws on both inner sides—remove them to access the filter housing, then simply pull it out to replace with a new one. I change mine every six months because dust accumulation over time affects AC airflow and cabin air freshness. During regular maintenance, if you notice odd smells or weak AC airflow, promptly check if the filter is clogged. DIY replacement is straightforward—just buy an OEM filter for peace of mind, and all you need is a screwdriver. The placement is user-friendly, unlike some cars that hide it in the engine bay, making it a hassle. Doing it yourself takes five minutes and saves over a hundred in labor costs. Remember not to yank the housing forcefully—handle gently to avoid damaging plastic parts.
