Where is the Lavida's cabin air filter located?

The cabin air filter of the Lavida is located inside the glove box, which can be seen upon opening it. Below is more information about the cabin air filter: 1. The function of the cabin air filter is to prevent such substances from entering the air conditioning system and damaging it. The filter can also efficiently filter and adsorb particulate impurities, achieving oil filtration and air purification performance, while effectively removing organic gases such as TVOC, benzene, phenol, ammonia, formaldehyde, xylene, and styrene. It is an ideal material used as a cabin air filter in various high-end cars, sedans, and commercial vehicles. 2. It filters the air entering the cabin from the outside to improve air cleanliness. Generally, the filtered substances refer to impurities in the air, including tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust, providing a good air environment for the occupants inside the vehicle, protecting their health, and also preventing window fogging.
As a long-term owner of the Lavida, I find the cabin air filter location quite easy to access—it's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Just open the glove box, press or turn the small clips/knobs on both sides gently to remove the entire compartment, and you'll see a rectangular plastic cover. Push or pry open the cover to reveal the filter tucked inside. When removing the old filter, handle it carefully to avoid breaking the edges. Align the new filter with the directional arrow during installation—it's that simple. The design is user-friendly; the whole DIY process takes less than five minutes, saving you hundreds in dealership labor fees. If left unchanged, accumulated dust and bacteria in the filter can cause musty odors when the AC blows and harm respiratory health. I recommend checking it annually before summer and also inspecting it in winter to prevent dampness and mold—making it a habit keeps your car fresh and you energized.
