Where is the GAC Fick air conditioning filter located?
2 Answers
GAC Fick's air conditioning filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. Detailed introduction about car air conditioning filters is as follows: 1. The car's air conditioning filter is an important component of the air conditioning system and needs to be replaced regularly. If the air conditioning filter is not replaced for a long time, it will affect the performance of the air conditioning and the health of the passengers. 2. The air conditioning filter can filter the air. Generally, cars require the air conditioning filter to be replaced every 10,000 kilometers. 3. The car's air conditioning system also needs regular cleaning and disinfection. If not cleaned for a long time, many bacteria will grow in the air conditioning system, which can harm the health of the passengers.
If you drive a GAC Fiat Chrysler vehicle, like the Compass or Renegade, I know the location of the cabin air filter all too well—it's hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, you'll need to empty the glove box, then locate and release two clips or screws to remove it, revealing the filter housing behind. Why place it there? Car designs position the air intake near the windshield for efficient airflow without occupying much space. Replacing it yourself is straightforward: just buy a new filter, align it, and slide it in. Aim to replace it about once a year, especially in dusty urban areas where delayed changes can lead to musty, polluted cabin air and respiratory issues. Last time I changed mine, it took some effort but saved on labor costs and taught me a bit about mechanics—super rewarding. Bottom line: the filter’s always in that spot, so don’t waste time looking under the hood; that’s not part of the AC system.
