2 Answers
The Honda Fit's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below is relevant information about the cabin air filter: 1. It can separate solid impurities from the air such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles. 2. It can absorb moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air and has strong and long-lasting moisture absorption. 3. It prevents the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and safe driving. It provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. It also effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. 4. It maintains clean air in the cabin, preventing bacterial growth and creating a healthy environment. It effectively separates solid impurities like dust, core powder, and abrasive particles from the air. It also effectively blocks pollen, ensuring that occupants do not suffer allergic reactions that could affect driving safety.
I've been driving my Fit for a long time and always enjoy DIY small projects. The location of the cabin air filter is actually quite convenient, right inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. Open the compartment and you'll see several plastic clips at the bottom. Gently press or pull them downward, and the entire glove box can be lowered. Then, a small cover with a label will be exposed. After unscrewing or prying open the cover, the cabin air filter is right there—just pull it out and replace it with a new one. I usually buy the filter online, selecting the model compatible with Honda. It takes about five to ten minutes on average to complete the task, and the tools needed are simple—just a screwdriver or a small flashlight. Remember, after each replacement, the air from the AC feels fresher, and you're less likely to sneeze while driving. It's recommended to change it once a year or every 10,000 kilometers—don't delay to save money and hassle. For beginners, watching tutorial videos is helpful to avoid breaking the clips and needing repairs.
