Introduction
Welcome to the Samuelz® Help Center! Ensuring the comfort and satisfaction of both our passengers and drivers is at the heart of our commitment to Peace and Excellence. Part of maintaining our high standards involves the regular upkeep of our vehicles, including the replacement of the cabin air filter. This essential component keeps the air inside the vehicle clean and free from pollutants, dust, pollen, and other airborne materials. Follow this guide to ensure that the air quality inside your vehicle meets our brand’s promise of Value-Driven Professional Service.
What You Need:
- A new cabin air filter (ensure it's the correct model for your vehicle)
- Gloves (optional)
- A clean cloth
Steps To Take
Step 1: Locate Your Cabin Air Filter
The cabin air filter is usually found in one of three places:
- Behind the glove box
- Under the dashboard
- Under the hood near the windshield
Refer to your vehicle’s manual for the exact location as it varies by model.
Step 2: Remove the Old Filter
- Glove Box: Open the glove box, release its sides to lower it down, and you'll see the filter housing. Remove any securing clips or tabs, then pull the old filter out.
- Under the Dashboard: It may be necessary to use a screwdriver to remove a panel. Once removed, you can access and pull out the filter.
- Under the Hood: Open the hood and locate the filter near the base of the windshield. Release the clips of the housing cover, and remove the old filter.
Step 3: Clean the Filter Housing
With the old filter removed, use a clean cloth to wipe away any debris or dust from the filter housing. This ensures that the new filter fits snugly and functions efficiently.
Step 4: Insert the New Cabin Air Filter
Take your new cabin air filter and insert it into the housing. Ensure it's oriented correctly—most filters will have arrows indicating the direction of airflow.
Step 5: Reassemble Components
Once the new filter is in place, reassemble any components you had to remove or open. This may include snapping the glove box back into place, screwing a panel back under the dashboard, or closing the housing cover under the hood.
Step 6: Test the System
Turn on your vehicle and check the airflow from the AC and heating system to ensure it's working correctly. There should be a noticeable improvement in the freshness and flow of the air.
Conclusion
Changing the cabin air filter is a straightforward process that plays a crucial role in maintaining the interior comfort and health standards of our vehicles. It is recommended to change the cabin air filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, or at least once a year. However, if the vehicle is operated in a dusty environment, more frequent changes may be necessary.
