Does the Chery QQ have an air conditioning filter?
2 Answers
In the current Chery QQ models, manual air conditioning is standard across the range, but an air conditioning filter is not included. Owners can choose to install an air conditioning filter. The functions of the air conditioning filter are as follows: 1. It ensures that the air conditioning grid fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air; 3. It absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air; 4. It prevents the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and safe driving; 5. It provides fresh air to the driving compartment, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety.
Yes, the Chery QQ usually comes with a cabin air filter, which is installed at the air intake of the air conditioning system. Its primary function is to filter out dust, pollen, and other fine particles from the air, protecting the in-car air quality from pollution. For someone like me who enjoys studying car interiors, this filter is typically located behind the glove box or under the dashboard, designed for easy replacement. Most later models like the QQ3 or QQ6 come with a standard filter, but earlier versions might differ, so it's advisable to check the owner's manual for specifics. Regularly replacing the filter is crucial—it's recommended to change it every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. Otherwise, a clogged filter can reduce the efficiency of the air conditioning, leading to slower cooling and increased fuel consumption. In cities with heavy smog, replacing it earlier can better prevent allergies. Opting for a newer activated carbon filter can also help remove odors and enhance comfort. If you're doing it yourself, it costs less than twenty yuan and takes about ten minutes to replace.
