Where is the Smart air conditioning filter located?
2 Answers
Smart air conditioning filter is located on the right side of the accelerator pedal. By bending down, you can see the cover plate of the air conditioning filter. Remove the cover plate and the air conditioning filter can be taken out. The functions of the air conditioning filter are: 1. Provide fresh air; 2. Ensure safety and hygiene; 3. Absorb harmful substances; 4. Filter solid impurities. Smart is a product of the cooperation between Mercedes-Benz and Swatch. Taking the 2019 Smart as an example, its body dimensions are: length 2695mm, width 1663mm, height 1555mm, wheelbase 1873mm, and curb weight 965kg.
Speaking of the location of the Smart car's cabin air filter, as someone who has driven a Smart for many years, I can give you a clear path. Under the hood, inside that black plastic cover near the windshield, is where the filter hides. You'll need to first open the front engine cover, move aside some obstructions (like the wiper linkage), then use a screwdriver to loosen two or three screws, and you can directly pull out the filter box. It's not a complicated job—just a 10-minute DIY task with a Phillips screwdriver. Don’t forget to replace this filter regularly; check it every 15,000 kilometers or so. Too much dust buildup can cause the AC to blow out odd smells, affecting respiratory health. A quick glance during routine maintenance can save you a lot on repairs and keep the cabin air fresh.
