Where is the cabin air filter located in the Dongfeng Fengxing X5?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter of the Dongfeng Fengxing X5 is located in the engine compartment, covered by a rectangular panel. Simply remove the panel to access it. The vehicle's air conditioning system is responsible for heating, cooling, ventilation, and in some models, air purification. The Dongfeng Fengxing X5 has body dimensions of 4515 mm in length, 1812 mm in width, and 1725 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2720 mm. It features front-wheel drive, a front suspension type of MacPherson strut with a stabilizer bar, a rear suspension type of trailing arm non-independent suspension, and a unibody structure.
I just started driving the Dongfeng Fengxing X5 a few months ago, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat—it’s quite easy to find. When replacing it, empty the glove compartment, press the left and right clips to lower the compartment, and you’ll see a rectangular cover. Unscrew the bolts, remove the old filter, and replace it with a new one. The filter has an arrow marking its direction—don’t install it backward, or airflow will be poor and affect ventilation. The first time took me half an hour, but it got much faster with practice. Regularly changing the filter has major benefits: it filters dust, pollen, and PM2.5, which is great for people with sensitive respiratory systems, especially when driving frequently in cities—cleaner air means less fatigue. I recommend replacing it yearly or every 15,000 km. Buying the filter and doing it yourself saves money—just around 100 RMB, no need for shop service fees.
