2 Answers
The cabin air filter of the Dongfeng Peugeot 308 is installed behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below are the steps to replace the cabin air filter: 1. First, open the glove compartment cover and squeeze both sides towards the center with both hands to remove the glove compartment. 2. Then, press firmly on the fixing clips on both sides of the cover plate to remove it. 3. Next, pull out the old cabin air filter towards the outside, insert the new cabin air filter, and then reassemble following the reverse steps.
I've driven a Dongfeng Peugeot 308 for several years and am quite familiar with the location of its cabin air filter. It's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side—easy to access by removing the glove box. Just press the clips on both sides and lift it up, then you'll see a plastic cover panel. Pry it open and the filter is right there. I didn't pay attention before, and ended up with a musty smell from the AC. Upon checking, the filter was completely clogged with dust. Regular replacement is crucial, about once a year or every 15,000 kilometers, to prevent dust and pollen buildup from affecting respiratory health—especially important for allergy sufferers. A new filter costs just a few dozen yuan, and buying parts online to DIY saves time and effort. You'll notice a clear improvement in AC cooling performance. Just make it a habit to check during routine maintenance.
