Where is the Citroën Air Filter Located?

The Citroën air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side, and the glove compartment needs to be removed when replacing the air filter. The air filter is a type of filter installed in the car's air conditioning system, which can absorb dust particles, alleviate respiratory discomfort, reduce irritation for allergy sufferers, and protect the air conditioning cooling system. Taking the Citroën C6 as an example: this car has a length, width, and height of 4980mm, 1858mm, and 1475mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2900mm. The body type is a 4-door, 5-seat sedan, equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and a top speed of 235 kilometers per hour.
I just worked on the cabin air filter of my Citroën, which is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat! First, you need to open the glove box and empty its contents. There are clips or screws securing the bottom panel on the side—just gently pry it off. Look inside, and you’ll find a rectangular box. Unscrew the cover to pull out the filter. It usually hides inside, filtering dust and pollen. If left unchanged for too long, the air in the car becomes dirty, and the AC starts emitting unpleasant odors. I check it every 15,000 kilometers to prevent clogging and ensure proper airflow—replacing it costs just around a hundred bucks. Make sure not to install it backward; the arrow should point in the direction of airflow.
