Swift's air conditioning filter is located behind the passenger-side glove compartment. The functions of the air conditioning filter are: 1. To separate dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air; 2. To ensure clean air in the cabin and prevent bacterial growth. The Swift's body dimensions are: length 3765mm, width 1690mm, height 1510mm, with a wheelbase of 2390mm and a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. The Swift is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 76 kW at 6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 138 Nm at 4000 rpm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Last time I changed the Swift's cabin air filter myself, it really wore me out! It's hidden deep inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. You have to squeeze both sides of the glove box inward to remove it, and there's a plastic cover holding the filter in place. A reminder to everyone: have a screwdriver and small wrench ready when disassembling - the plastic parts on older cars are brittle and the clips break easily. After removing it, I found the filter was completely clogged with poplar catkins, no wonder there was always a dusty smell when the AC was on. This job looks simple but is really hard on the back - after kneeling for half an hour my legs went numb. It's recommended to change it every 20,000 km, and even more frequently in coastal areas as the filter tends to get moldy in humid weather.

As an auto repair shop owner, replacing the Swift's cabin air filter is basic work. It's located behind the glove box on the passenger side. Remember three steps for removal: open the glove box → squeeze both side limiters → pull downward as a whole. The filter cover has airflow direction arrows - incorrect installation affects filtration. Common issues include broken clips, especially when plastic becomes brittle in winter. We recommend pre-warming plastic parts with heater air before removal, and applying Vaseline for easier disassembly. Filters come in single-layer and activated carbon types - choose anti-haze versions for northern regions and anti-mold for southern areas. Note that aftermarket parts may have thickness mismatches, so OEM specifications are preferred.

Listen up, girls! Changing the Swift's cabin air filter is super easy. Kneel on the passenger side floor mat, open the glove compartment and press firmly on both sides to remove it completely. Last time I found lots of small leaves stuck inside - no wonder the AC smelled weird. Remember to buy an activated carbon filter to eliminate odors. My first time changing it was clumsy - I almost installed the new filter backwards, so pay attention to the arrow pointing downward. I took the opportunity to vacuum the air ducts, and the cold air seems stronger now. Recommend replacing it before rainy season as humid weather breeds bacteria easily.
