Where is the cabin air filter of Dongfeng AX7 located?
2 Answers
Dongfeng AX7's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Maintenance methods for the cabin air filter: 1. If the filter is dirty, clean it by blowing compressed air from the opposite side; 2. Hold the air gun about 5cm away from the filter and blow at a pressure of 500kPa for approximately 2 minutes; 3. The cabin air filter tends to accumulate a lot of dust; simply blow away the loose dust with compressed air, and never wash it with water. The dimensions of Dongfeng AX7 are 4645mm in length, 1880mm in width, and 1690mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2715mm. The interior features a 12.3-inch intelligent full LCD dynamic instrument panel and a 1.17㎡ large panoramic sunroof with specially tempered gray glass.
On the Dongfeng AX7, the cabin air filter is quite easy to locate—it's inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. Whenever I replace it myself, the first step is to open the glove box door and pull it upward firmly to remove the entire storage compartment. Then, at the rear section, there's a rectangular plastic cover usually secured with clips. You can simply pry it open by hand or gently lever it with a small screwdriver to reveal and remove the filter. DIY replacement is really hassle-free and saves hundreds in labor costs at repair shops. I typically check and replace it every 10,000 kilometers, as accumulated dust in old filters can cause musty odors from the AC vents, which isn't good for breathing. If it's your first time, I recommend consulting the manual or following a video tutorial step by step to avoid damaging the clips. Remember to perform this with the engine off for safety, preventing accidental fan operation. Neglecting replacement long-term may increase AC system strain and even lead to higher fuel consumption.
