Where is the cabin air filter located in the Volkswagen Sagitar?

Volkswagen Sagitar's cabin air filter is located slightly above the passenger footwell. The recommended replacement interval for the cabin air filter is 1 year, and it can be replaced together with the engine air filter. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Locate the lower floor panel in the passenger side area and find two plastic screws. These can be loosened by hand or with tools to remove the cover panel; 2. You will see the cabin air filter cover. Release the clips around it by hand to open the cover and replace the cabin air filter. The 2014 Sagitar measures 4644mm in length, 1778mm in width, and 1482mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2651mm. While inheriting the classic design of the current Sagitar, the new model features innovative exterior and interior designs, with the family-style front grille further aligning with B-segment vehicle aesthetics.
When it comes to the location of the Sagitar's cabin air filter, I'm definitely the expert. It's behind the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat, and you have to remove the entire glove box to access it. When replacing it, first adjust the seat to its rearmost position, then crawl in to reach it properly. There are two plastic clips to remove - don't use brute force or you'll break them. Last year when helping a friend replace theirs, I found leaves and snack crumbs stuck inside, no wonder there was a musty smell when the AC was on. I recommend checking it every six months, and definitely replacing it before the rainy season. Removing the glove box only takes about five minutes anyway.
Last time I replaced the Sagitar's cabin air filter myself, it was located above the footwell on the passenger side. First, I had to empty the glove box, then forcefully lift the clips on both sides upwards. After removal, I found the filter slot positioned in front of the HVAC blower, resembling a pull-out drawer. It's crucial to install the filter with the arrow direction correct - installing it backwards would compromise filtration efficiency as the airflow direction would be wrong. I even discovered rodent chew marks on the back of the filter, so I took the opportunity to implement rodent prevention measures in the engine bay.
