The cabin air filter of the Wuling Hongguang S is located inside the glove box on the passenger side. The steps to replace the cabin air filter are: 1. Open the glove box on the passenger side and lift it upwards to remove it; 2. After exposing the cabin air filter, take out the plastic strip outside the filter; 3. Pull the white paper strip, and then the cabin air filter can be removed; 4. After replacing the cabin air filter, follow the reverse order of the disassembly steps to reinstall it properly. The body dimensions of the Wuling Hongguang S are 4400mm in length, 1680mm in width, and 1770mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2720mm.
Last time I helped my neighbor replace the air conditioning filter in their Wuling Hongguang S, I found it right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, press firmly on both sides of the glove compartment to remove it, then look deeper inside and you'll see a black plastic cover. Pry open the clips to reveal the rectangular filter. Remember, the filter has an airflow direction arrow—installing it backwards will affect filtration efficiency. Changing the filter on this model requires no tools at all; it takes just three minutes and saves you 50 yuan in labor costs. Just buy a 20-yuan filter online and replace it yourself. For northern car owners, I recommend getting an activated carbon filter to catch willow catkins and dust.
I've been using my Hongguang S for cargo hauling for three years, changing the filter every month. The location is super simple: sit in the passenger seat, look down at the glove box, press both sides of the box inward while pulling it out, and the whole box comes off. The rectangular plastic cover inside is the filter compartment, which can be pried open with a fingernail. When pulling out the filter, check how much dust has accumulated—if it's black, replace it immediately. Remember to buy filters sized 128×198×20mm; don't cheap out on thinner ones, or dust will leak through the gaps, making the replacement pointless. Always replace it before the rainy season, or the AC will smell like dirt.
