Where is the cabin air filter located on the Dongfeng Peugeot 308?

Dongfeng Peugeot 308's cabin air filter is located beneath the right front windshield, at the position between the rain gutter and the engine firewall. You'll need to remove three to four bolts in this area and take off the protective cover to access the hidden cabin air filter. Below are the functions of the cabin air filter: 1. It can adsorb moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, and other substances from the air. 2. It strongly and persistently absorbs moisture, preventing the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers, and enhancing driving safety. 3. It provides fresh air to the passenger compartment, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. 4. It effectively sterilizes and deodorizes, maintaining clean air in the passenger compartment and preventing bacterial growth, creating a healthy environment. 5. It efficiently filters out solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air.
As a veteran owner who changes the 308's cabin air filter myself, it's located behind the glove box on the passenger side—no need to remove the glove box, just squat down to see a rectangular plastic cover. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the right clip (the left side is a hinge, no need to touch it). When removing the old filter, check the arrow marking the airflow direction—the new filter's arrow must face the interior when reinstalling. Buy a standard activated carbon filter, and you can finish the job in ten minutes, saving over 200 yuan compared to dealership service. Remember to replace it before seasonal transitions in spring/summer, or else the AC will blow musty air. Last time I helped a coworker change theirs, I even found half a dried leaf stuck in their filter.
