Where is the Luxgen's cabin air filter located?

Luxgen's cabin air filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. The owner needs to remove the glove box to access it, where a white cover on the blower motor can be seen. Opening this cover reveals the cabin air filter. Here's additional information about cabin air filters: 1. The cabin air filter ensures tight sealing against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the vehicle compartment. It separates solid impurities like dust and abrasive particles from the air, while also adsorbing moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc. It prevents windshield fogging to maintain clear visibility for safe driving, provides fresh air to the cabin, protects occupants from inhaling harmful gases, and effectively intercepts pollen to prevent allergic reactions that could compromise driving safety. 2. Cabin air filters are relatively inexpensive. To maintain air quality, replacement intervals shouldn't be too long. Generally, replace every 5,000-8,000 km, or earlier in poor road conditions. For vehicles parked for extended periods, replacement every 6-8 months is recommended. The optimal replacement times are during seasonal transitions between summer and winter to maintain clean cabin air.
It's usually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, requiring complete removal of the glove box to access it. The Luxgen7 SUV is a bit special - you need to first pry open the plastic cover on the upper edge of the glove compartment, which hides two screws. After removing these screws, you can pull out the entire filter cover plate. When I last replaced mine, I noticed the filter is vertically inserted into the air duct, unlike most models. The filter model CF013 is particularly troublesome to replace as it tends to get stuck. It's advisable to disconnect the battery first, otherwise it might trigger a system alarm. For older vehicles, pay attention to plastic aging around the filter frame - pulling too hard may cause it to crack. Recommended replacement interval is every 10,000 km or 6 months, otherwise not only will there be AC odors, but airflow will also noticeably weaken.
