Where is the cabin air filter located on the Changan CX30?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter of the Changan CX30 is located beneath the wiper panel under the engine hood. You'll need to remove the wiper panel to access it. Since this involves wiper removal, it's recommended to have it replaced at a 4S dealership or auto repair shop. Manufacturers generally recommend replacement every 20,000-30,000 kilometers. Here are the functions of the cabin air filter: 1. Ensures tight sealing against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. Filters out solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. 3. Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., with strong and lasting moisture absorption capability. 4. Prevents windshield fogging to maintain driver visibility and ensure driving safety; provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and effectively eliminating bacteria and odors. 5. Maintains clean cabin air to prevent bacterial growth and creates a healthy environment; effectively separates solid impurities like dust, core powder, and abrasive particles; efficiently blocks pollen to prevent allergic reactions that could affect driving safety.
I remember it was quite a hassle to locate the cabin air filter in my Changan CX30. Typically, the filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to open the glove box and remove it completely—usually secured by a few clips or screws, just gently pry them open. Then, right behind it, there's a small cover over the filter slot. The first time I replaced it, it took me a while to figure out the location. After installing the new filter, the air inside the car became much fresher, and it reduced the risk of the AC system getting clogged. It's recommended to check it every six months to prevent dust buildup from affecting ventilation. You can replace it yourself with some simple tools, saving time and money instead of going to the repair shop every time. Of course, if you're not familiar with the structure, check the car's manual first to avoid damaging any components.
