The cabin air filter of Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. The functions of the cabin air filter include: 1. Preventing evaporator blockage: Its most important function is to filter dust from the air, preventing dust from entering the evaporator and forming sludge that could clog it. 2. Air conditioning filter: It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, guaranteeing that unfiltered air does not enter the cabin. 3. Car windows: It prevents the car windows from fogging up with vapor, ensuring clear visibility for the driver and passengers, and thus safe driving. The method for replacing the cabin air filter of Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 is as follows: 1. Remove the clips located at the front of the passenger side in the engine compartment, then take out the sound insulation cotton. Be careful to avoid damaging the clips. 2. Remove the filter: After taking out the sound insulation cotton, reach in to remove the baffle, then reach in again to take out the cabin air filter. Note that there is an arrow indicator on the outer side of the filter; avoid installing it backwards during reinstallation.
I often handle these things myself. The cabin air filter of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and its fixed position makes it very convenient. After opening the glove compartment, you'll find clips on both sides. Gently press them to remove the entire compartment. Inside, there's a small rectangular cover plate. Push it aside to reveal the filter slot, and you can simply pull out the old filter to replace it. Keep a screwdriver handy, as some models may require tools for assistance. Don't worry about it being complicated—I only started learning half a year ago. Watching a video tutorial a couple of times will get you up to speed. The key is to replace it regularly. Check it every six months, especially if you use the air conditioning frequently. A new filter can effectively trap dust and pollen, keeping the air in the car fresher and reducing sneezing fits. Doing it yourself also saves you the hassle of going to a repair shop. Buying filters online isn’t expensive, but make sure to choose the right model—don’t just go for the cheapest option, as better quality ensures better performance.
