Where is the cabin air filter of Dongfeng Lingzhi located?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Lingzhi's cabin air filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. The function of the cabin air filter is to filter the air entering the vehicle interior from the outside, improving air cleanliness. It filters impurities in the air, including tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial waste gas, and dust, providing a good air environment for passengers and preventing glass fogging. The Lingzhi is a self-owned brand commercial MPV, with its 1.5L and 1.6L models equipped with Mitsubishi engines. The vehicle is fitted with an 8-inch LCD display integrating functions such as GPS navigation, reverse camera, smartphone connectivity, and Bluetooth calling.
I've got experience with this! The location of the Dongfeng Lingzhi's cabin air filter depends on the specific model year. For older Lingzhi models, it's usually hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to empty the glove box first, then pinch both sides inward to release and remove the entire compartment. Behind it, there's a rectangular plastic cover with clips - pry it open to access the filter. However, newer models like the M5L might have it positioned under the hood near the passenger-side windshield, requiring removal of the water deflector panel. Last time I helped a neighbor replace theirs, I realized many owners don't even know this filter exists, resulting in dusty air conditioning with moldy filters. I recommend replacing it every 20,000 km or six months, especially during peak poplar fluff season in northern regions.
