Before installation, we need to prepare a new adaptive air conditioning filter and necessary tools such as screwdrivers:
The location of the air conditioning filter in different vehicle models may vary. Common locations include the interior of the glove box, near the lower part of the windshield in the engine compartment, etc. If the air conditioning filter is installed inside the glove box, it is generally necessary to remove the glove box first. The specific operation method may vary depending on the vehicle model. Some may require loosening a few screws, while others may be secured with clips that can be removed by gently pressing or twisting.
After locating the installation slot for the air conditioning filter, remove the old filter. During the removal process, pay attention to observing the installation direction and position of the filter so that the new filter can be installed accurately. Next, place the new air conditioning filter into the installation slot. It is important to note that the filter usually has two sides, one with filtering material and the other possibly being smoother. The side with filtering material should face towards the direction of airflow entry. After installing the new filter, reinstall the glove box or other components in the reverse order of removal.
For some vehicle models, the air conditioning filter is installed inside the engine compartment near the lower part of the windshield. In this case, you may need to open the engine hood, locate the corresponding cover, use a screwdriver or other tool to unscrew the screws, and remove the cover to access the air conditioning filter.

During the installation process, there are several points to note:
Choose the right filter: Select the appropriate air conditioning filter based on the vehicle model and usage environment, such as regular filters, activated carbon filters, etc.
Pay attention to the installation direction: Ensure that the filter element is installed in the correct direction, otherwise it will not achieve good filtration effect.
Firm installation: After installation, ensure that the filter element is firmly installed and will not loosen or shift during use.
Regular replacement: Even if installed correctly, the air conditioning filter needs to be replaced regularly. It is generally recommended to replace it every 10,000-20,000 kilometers or once a year. The specific replacement cycle can be referred to in the vehicle’s user manual.

In summary, by correctly installing the car’s air conditioning filter and paying attention to relevant matters, you can create a comfortable and healthy indoor environment for yourself and your family.
