Parts for your 2022 Mitsubishi Asx-Cabin filter

2022 Mitsubishi ASX cabin filter

Yes, the 2022 Mitsubishi ASX is fitted with a cabin air filter (also called an air-conditioner or pollen filter). This is confirmed by Mitsubishi’s own technical literature: the ASX Owner’s Manual for 2022 includes an “Air conditioner filter” maintenance item, and the factory Service/Workshop Manual (Heater, Air Conditioner and Ventilation section) sets out removal and installation behind the glovebox. Major AU/NZ parts catalogues also list direct-fit cabin filters for the 2010–2022 ASX range, reinforcing that it’s standard equipment.

In the ASX, the cabin filter keeps the air inside the cabin fresher and healthier by trapping dust, pollen, soot and fine particles before they reach passengers or the evaporator core. That’s especially handy across Australia and New Zealand where road dust, urban smog, grass pollen and seasonal bushfire smoke can make drives uncomfortable. A good filter also helps reduce odours and protects the HVAC system from clogging, so demisting stays quick and airflow remains strong.

For servicing, the practical approach is to check the cabin filter at each routine service and replace it every 15,000 to 30,000 kilometres, or 12–24 months, depending on conditions. Mitsubishi’s schedule calls it out as a periodic item, if the ASX sees a lot of gravel roads, regional dust, city congestion, or smoke events, it’ll need changing more often. A filter that’s past it will show up as weak fan output, a musty smell when the A/C starts, increased fan noise, or a film on the inside of the windscreen.

The filter housing sits behind the glovebox. Drop the glovebox, release the side stops, pop the small access cover, and slide the old filter out. Note the airflow arrow on the filter frame, vacuum out any loose debris in the housing, and slide in a fresh filter with the arrow oriented correctly. While a gentle vacuum of a lightly soiled filter is okay in a pinch, washing paper media isn’t recommended, replacement is the go.

• Choose an OE-quality or activated carbon filter if you want better odour and smoke reduction.
• After fitment, jot down the kilometres and date to align with the next service.
• Use recirculate sparingly and run the A/C regularly to keep moisture and odours at bay.

Staying on top of the ASX’s cabin filter is a small job that makes a big difference to comfort, air quality and HVAC performance.

Does the 2022 Mitsubishi ASX have a cabin filter?

It does. Mitsubishi’s 2022 ASX Owner’s Manual lists an “Air conditioner filter” for periodic replacement, and the factory Service Manual details the filter’s location behind the glovebox. Local AU/NZ parts catalogues also carry direct-fit filters for this model year.

How often should the ASX cabin filter be replaced in Australia or New Zealand?

A practical interval is every 15,000–30,000 km or 12–24 months, with earlier replacement in dusty regions, heavy pollen seasons, or after smoke events. If airflow drops or a musty smell appears, replace sooner. Always align with the service schedule for your vehicle.

Where is the cabin filter in a 2022 ASX and can owners change it?

It’s behind the glovebox. Lower the glovebox, release the side stops, open the access cover and slide the filter out. Most owners can swap it in 10–20 minutes with no special tools—just check the airflow arrow when installing the new filter.
