Where is the cabin air filter of Changan CX20 located?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter of Changan CX20 is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. The function of the cabin air filter is to filter dust particles from the air, preventing these pollutants from entering the car's evaporator and causing sludge buildup that could block the evaporator. If the owner notices a significant decrease in airflow from the vents, it may be due to a blockage. Another function of the cabin air filter is to filter dust, moisture, pollen, carbon oxides, and sulfides from the air, as the filter contains activated carbon that can absorb harmful gases and particulate matter. The dimensions of the Changan CX20 are 3880mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1570mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2450mm.
I once looked for the cabin air filter in my Changan CX20, and it's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open the glove box, and you'll find a small cover secured with clips or screws. Lift it to reveal the filter housing. The old filter slides out with a gentle pull, and when installing the new one, be careful not to insert it backwards. I've replaced it myself once and found the design very convenient—no need to dismantle the entire glove box, just a few minutes to complete the job. The filter plays a crucial role in trapping dust, pollen, and odors, keeping the cabin air fresh. I recommend checking it every six months or after driving 10,000 kilometers, especially after driving on dusty rural roads where dirt accumulates more easily. Replacing the filter isn't expensive; just buy one that matches the OEM specifications. Developing this habit can extend your AC's lifespan and reduce allergy risks.
