Where is the cabin air filter of Zotye SR7 located?
2 Answers
Zotye SR7's cabin air filter is located in the glove compartment area. Release the side clips and lower the glove compartment to reveal the cabin air filter cover. For typical urban family cars, it's recommended to replace the cabin air filter every six months or once a year. Consider replacing the cabin air filter under the following circumstances: 1. If the airflow from the AC vents significantly decreases, the cabin air filter might be clogged. First clean the filter, or replace it if necessary. 2. The cleaning frequency depends on road conditions (dusty roads, etc.), and earlier cleaning is recommended. 3. The cabin air filter should be properly installed in its position. Using the AC without the cabin air filter may degrade dustproof performance and affect AC performance.
Last time I researched the location of the Zotye SR7's cabin air filter, it was right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. When removing it, first empty the contents of the glove compartment, then press both sides inward with your hands to release the clips. After fully lowering the glove compartment, you'll see a rectangular plastic cover behind it—that's the one. There's a clip on the right side of the cover; press it gently to open the cover, and the old filter can be pulled out. When installing the new filter, pay attention to the arrow direction—don't install it backward. The arrow usually points toward the rear of the car or the side with the airflow indicator facing downward. If you're doing it yourself, you can buy a compatible filter online for around 20 yuan, saving 100-200 yuan compared to going to a 4S shop. It's recommended to replace it during seasonal transitions in spring and autumn, especially after seasons with heavy willow catkins in northern areas.
