Suzuki Alto (HA36#) Mazda Carol (HB36#) Cabin Air Filter Replacement

I think it’s pretty cool

This time, I would like to introduce how to replace the cabin air filter for Alto (HA36).

More than years have passed since the model change.

The front has more impact than the previous model, and the Works looks even cooler.
Well, the price is quite high for this class, but if you like it, you might still buy it.

In my mind, Alto Lapin has a rather symmetrical image, and if Lapin is a woman’s image, this time’s Alto seems to be a man’s image.

Until recently, there was a trend where men were ridiculed for driving light cars, but now, perhaps times have changed, and there are light car owners regardless of gender.

Well, this also has to do with the historical background.There are people who really want to drive a regular car but settle for a light car for economic reasons, and even people who are old enough to have retired from active duty want to buy a large car. Many people switch to light cars because they don’t need to drive.

That’s why there is still a constant demand for light vehicles, but since this is a long story, it’s time to move on to the main topic.

Remove glove box

Pull out the fitting (interlocking part) at the bottom of the glove box and remove the glove box.
Grasp the edges of the glove box and pull out one side at a time.

Remove the cover

Remove the filter cover by pinching the gripping part (circled part) on the left side of the filter cover and pulling it toward you.
The right side of the cover is inserted into the unit, so first pull it slightly to the left to remove the right side.

Replace the filter

I was surprised to see that the blower unit was transparent like a skeleton.

I thought it was quite an unusual thing to do in a part of the blower unit that is normally invisible.

But I like this kind of playfulness.

This is especially necessary in these times.

The exchange itself is a common exchange method, so once you get the hang of it, you can exchange it right away.

If you’re concerned, you might want to try replacing it yourself.
