The cabin air filter in the DS6 is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. It can be accessed by removing the glove compartment, and the removal and replacement process is very convenient. Relevant details are as follows: 1. The original cabin air filter has a service life of 30,000 kilometers or one year. Regular cleaning of the cabin air filter can extend its service life. It is recommended to clean it once a month, especially during the summer when the air conditioning is frequently used. 2. If the vehicle has been driven for more than 20,000 kilometers, it is recommended to replace the cabin air filter. First, locate the position of the cabin air filter. Secondly, some models may require the removal of additional screws during the disassembly and installation process. 3. When replacing the filter, first lift the engine cover, remove the clips securing the scuttle panel, and then remove the scuttle panel to reveal the cabin air filter.
I recently replaced the cabin air filter in my DS6, so I know its exact location. In the DS6 model, the cabin air filter is hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To access it, you'll first need to open the glove box and either gently lower it or remove a few plastic clips or screws at the bottom. There's usually a cover or barrier inside the glove compartment; once removed, you'll see the filter slot. I recommend having the new filter ready along with simple tools like a screwdriver. From my experience, it's best to replace it approximately every 10,000 kilometers or once a year—otherwise, you might notice musty odors or dust buildup in the car. If you drive frequently, regular checks ensure fresh air, especially during pollen season, helping to avoid allergies.
As a seasoned driver with ten years of experience, I've replaced quite a few cabin air filters, including the one in my own DS6. In the DS6, it's securely positioned on the inner backside of the glove compartment. To remove it, you first need to pull down the glove box door frame or gently push a few retaining clips. Be careful not to use excessive force during the process to avoid damaging the plastic components. Last time when my filter was clogged, the air vents started emitting a foul odor, but the issue was immediately resolved after replacing it. Regular maintenance of this small component can reduce bacterial growth inside the car and ensure a healthy driving environment. Remember to adjust the replacement cycle based on usage frequency—those who frequently take long trips should replace it more often.
