Where is the Wuling Zhiguang's Cabin Air Filter Located?

[Roman]

Wuling Zhiguang's cabin air filter is located inside the glove box. The cabin air filter is a type of filter installed in the car's air conditioning system, which can absorb dust particles, alleviate respiratory discomfort, reduce irritation for allergy sufferers, and protect the air conditioning cooling system. The Wuling Zhiguang has dimensions of 3797mm in length, 1510mm in width, and 1820mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2500mm. It is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 1.2L L4 engine. The vehicle features a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of leaf spring non-independent suspension. The body structure is of a unibody design.

I used to wonder about the location of the Wuling Sunshine's cabin air filter too. The design is quite reasonable—it's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to fully open the glove box, where you'll find a plastic cover secured by two clips or screws. Remove this cover, and the filter housing will be directly visible. I've replaced it twice myself. The first time might be a bit tricky, so remember to have a Phillips screwdriver and a small pry tool ready. It's recommended to replace the filter at least once a year, especially in humid southern regions where mold and odors can develop easily. Don’t just stop at replacing the filter—take the opportunity to clean the air ducts as well. Wipe the inside of the cover with a damp cloth to remove dust, and give the air vents a quick wipe too. This will noticeably improve cooling efficiency and keep the air much fresher during long drives.

The Wuling Sunshine's cabin air filter is hidden inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the compartment, feel around the deepest part to locate it. You'll need to first remove the plastic cover with clips - just give it a gentle pry and it comes off easily. The positioning is quite concealed but not overly difficult to find. I always take a photo to document the original orientation before replacing the filter, to avoid installing the new one backwards which could affect airflow. When replacing, don't forget to clean out debris in the glove box corners where leaves and paper scraps tend to accumulate and block the air intake. In northern areas with heavy sand/dust, it's best to replace it each spring and summer while also checking the fan blades - I've personally encountered reduced airflow due to leaves stuck in the fan blades.

The air filter for the Wuling Zhiguang is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open the compartment to see a plastic cover, and removing it allows direct access to the filter. During my own experience, I found the cover clips to be quite fragile, so it's best to pry them slowly along the edges. Don't skimp on quality when buying a new filter—poorly sized ones can let dust through. After replacement, test the air flow and check for any unusual odors. Insufficient airflow might indicate a clogged duct. The whole process takes about three minutes, and it's recommended to replace the filter every six months.

Last time I helped my neighbor replace the air conditioning filter on their Wuling Sunshine, and the design is really convenient—it's located at the very back of the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove box, you need to remove the limit rods on both sides, then flip the entire glove box downward to access the filter housing. The key is to have an LED flashlight handy for better visibility, as it's easy to miss the clip positions in the dark. I usually take the opportunity to vacuum the dust around the air duct connection to prevent secondary contamination from debris. It's best to install a new filter before turning on the heater in winter, as accumulated dust can become especially irritating when heated. Switching to an activated carbon filter can also help reduce smog.
