3 Answers
The cabin air filter of Dongfeng Citroen C5 is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. By removing the glove compartment, you can access the cabin air filter. The Dongfeng Citroen C5 has the following dimensions: length 4805mm, width 1860mm, height 1458mm, with a wheelbase of 2815mm and a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters. The Dongfeng Citroen C5 is classified as a mid-size sedan, featuring a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine producing a maximum horsepower of 136PS, maximum power of 100kW, and maximum torque of 230Nm, paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving a Dongfeng Citroen C5 for several years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. You need to first open the glove compartment door, and you'll see several small clips or screws at the bottom. After loosening them, the entire compartment can be gently pulled out, and the filter is hidden inside. When replacing it, remember to wear gloves to avoid scratching your hands, and it's easier to locate with the air conditioning on for ventilation. If the filter gets dirty, the car's AC will develop an odor, so I recommend checking it every six months. For my C5, I replace it during regular maintenance, which makes the air much fresher. Once you locate it, just buy the right filter model, and the replacement operation is very simple—I can do it myself.
As a new driver who just bought a used C5, the cabin air filter is located underneath the inner side of the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open the compartment door and you'll see a removable panel at the bottom - gently push to remove the cover and reveal the filter slot. Be careful when operating to avoid breaking plastic parts with excessive force. The filter position near the firewall is relatively convenient in design, but may take some time to locate for the first time. Check the owner's manual or online forums (preferably with diagrams) for guidance. Replacing the filter prevents dust from entering the vehicle - I notice significantly improved AC performance after each replacement. Developing a regular cleaning habit makes driving more comfortable.
