Where is the cabin air filter of Changan V7 located?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter of Changan V7 is installed inside the glove compartment next to the driver. You can first remove the plastic panel, then unscrew the screw at the end of the glove compartment, and remove the cover to see the cabin air filter inside. Below are the specific functions of the cabin air filter: 1. It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the car. It blocks solid impurities such as pollen, dust, and abrasive particles in the air. 2. It has strong and long-lasting adsorption properties. It can adsorb moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, and other substances in the air. 3. It helps dry the windshield vapor, ensuring the driver's safety. It provides fresh air to prevent passengers from inhaling harmful gases and effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. 4. It keeps the air inside the car fresh, reducing bacterial growth and creating a healthy environment. It effectively intercepts pollen, ensuring the driver's safety by preventing allergic reactions that could affect driving.
Last time I replaced the air filter on my Changan V7 myself—it's hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to remove the entire glove box first by gently pinching the clips on both sides and pushing inward, which allows the whole compartment to lower fully. Then you'll see the small door for the air filter. Apply a bit of force to pull out the cover plate, and the old filter will slide right out. Remember to install the new filter with the arrow pointing in the correct direction—don’t put it in backward, or it’ll affect filtration efficiency. I change mine every six months, and doing it right before summer is most convenient. If you notice the filter has turned black, replace it immediately—otherwise, the AC will blow out musty air, which is terrible for your respiratory system.
