Where is the cabin air filter located in the Fengxing S500?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter of the Fengxing S500 is located behind the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. The cabin air filter ensures that the air conditioning element fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. The air filter can absorb fine particles, reducing irritation for allergy sufferers. The Fengxing S500 is Dongfeng Fengxing's first versatile 7-seat family MPV. The dimensions of this vehicle are 4620mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1720mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. The dashboard of the Fengxing S500 incorporates sedan-style design elements, featuring a cannon-style instrument panel, a three-spoke chrome-trimmed steering wheel, and a large central control LCD screen. The vehicle is equipped with front and rear independent air conditioning, providing a more comfortable driving and riding experience for occupants.
Regarding the location of the air conditioning filter in the Fengxing S500, I can tell you from my own experience that it's behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. I remember when I first drove this car, I didn't know much about it either. Later, after some exploration, I found that to replace the filter, you first need to open the glove compartment door. There are a few clips inside that can be easily unclipped to remove the entire unit. After moving the glove compartment unit aside, you'll see a small box with a lid—that's where the filter is hidden. Gently pull open the lid, and the old filter can be easily pulled out. When installing the new one, make sure the arrow direction faces the front of the car. I always check it before the weather gets hot. With city dust being heavy, it's best to replace it once a year. This way, the air blown out by the AC is clean and cool, there's no odor in the car, and family members sneeze less. Doing it yourself is quite simple—buying a filter online costs just a few dozen yuan, and with a screwdriver, it takes about ten minutes to finish, much more convenient than going to a repair shop. The design is reasonable for easy access, just a small maintenance tip—don’t neglect it and let the filter accumulate dust and mold.
