Open the glove box, the cabin air filter is located underneath. There are dampers on both sides, pull them outward to remove the cabin air filter. More details are as follows: 1. Generally, the cabin air filter in most vehicles is located below or inside the glove box on the passenger side. Some models may have it positioned under the front windshield storage compartment on the passenger side. 2. Poor maintenance of the cabin air filter can lead to the accumulation of dust and dirt on the filter panel, radiator, evaporator, and fin surfaces, causing airflow blockage. Additionally, the air conditioning system may experience reduced cooling and heating efficiency, increased power consumption, noise issues, and a shortened lifespan.
I've been driving a BYD S6 for a while, and the cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side, which is quite easy to find. You open the glove box, and there are some clips or screws fixed on the side. Gently remove them to see the panel. After taking out the panel, the filter is in the empty space. If you notice weak airflow or odd smells when using the air conditioner, it might be clogged. I replace mine every six months with the activated carbon type, which filters pollen and dust—great for families with kids. Cleaner air while driving makes for a better mood. Before starting, check the location diagram in the owner's manual. Don't worry; it's not a hassle and takes about ten minutes. Remember to clean the glove compartment regularly to avoid debris buildup affecting heat dissipation.
As a DIY enthusiast car owner, I found that the BYD S6's cabin air filter is conveniently located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, making replacement straightforward. First, fully open the glove box and check both sides for any dampers or clips, gently pressing to release them. Then remove the internal small drawer or partition components to reveal the air filter housing. Simply pull out the old filter and replace it with a new one, paying attention to the correct orientation. While replacing, it's good practice to wipe down the interior walls of the glove box to prevent dust accumulation. This component filters particulate matter from the cabin air - when clogged, it can reduce airflow and cooling efficiency. I recommend checking it every 10,000 kilometers. Those with good DIY skills can save on maintenance costs by purchasing universal filters that fit perfectly.
