The BYD S7 has one air filter located behind the glove compartment, as well as an engine air filter situated on the right side of the engine. The steps to remove the BYD S7 air filter are as follows: 1. Unscrew the two plastic screws on both sides of the glove compartment; 2. Remove the damping buckle on the right side of the glove compartment and detach the plastic panel; 3. After removing the plastic panel, you will see a blue wire and a white wire—disconnect the plugs of these two wires to remove the air filter. The BYD S7 measures 4835mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1720mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2730mm. The vehicle's engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 154Ps, a maximum power of 113kW, and a maximum torque of 240Nm.

As a seasoned driver who frequently operates a BYD S7, I've noticed that the air conditioning system typically has only one cabin air filter, located in the filter housing on the passenger side, which is quite easy to access. If the filter gets dirty and isn't replaced promptly, it can reduce airflow, significantly diminishing cooling efficiency in summer, and potentially leading to musty odors and bacterial growth that affect health. It's advisable to check it during every routine maintenance, with a general recommendation to replace it every 10,000-20,000 kilometers or once a year. Especially during spring and autumn when pollen levels are high, installing a new filter can markedly improve cabin air quality and protect respiratory health. DIY replacement is quite straightforward—opt for genuine OEM filters which cost just a few dozen yuan; don't skimp by buying cheap alternatives as it may prove counterproductive. Remember, regular maintenance not only saves money but also prevents costly repairs to the AC compressor.

I enjoy DIY car maintenance and have strong hands-on skills. The BYD S7 has only one cabin air filter, primarily positioned at the air intake to block dust from entering the cabin. During inspection, simply open the cover below the glove compartment to easily remove the filter and check the level of contamination. It's recommended to purchase an activated carbon filter of matching dimensions online to enhance filtration efficiency—replacement takes just five minutes, saving both money and hassle. Don't neglect maintenance, especially after the rainy season when high humidity can easily cause clogging and odors, affecting driving comfort. Develop a habit of simple cleaning every six months to extend the system's lifespan—it's highly cost-effective.

Using the BYD S7 for daily family and child transportation, I noticed it only has one cabin air filter responsible for filtering airborne particles. Not replacing it promptly can significantly impact health, causing a surge in PM2.5 concentration inside the car, which easily triggers allergies or respiratory discomfort, especially on smoggy days. I make it a habit to inspect it quarterly to maintain fresh air circulation. The filter's location is easy to find, and maintenance doesn't take much time. Using genuine OEM parts ensures safety and reliability, guaranteeing a clean cabin environment for worry-free travel, which is crucial.

What does 45tfsi mean?

45tfsi refers to: The number 45 does not represent displacement, but is a naming method derived from converting the G-value of 0-100 km/h acceleration, serving as a quantitative measure of the vehicle's acceleration; tfsi stands for turbocharging plus direct fuel injection. The G-value is used to represent the overall acceleration sensation of the vehicle model, with larger numbers indicating faster acceleration. The magnitude of the G-value is calculated by multiplying the average acceleration value (a) required for the vehicle to complete the 0-100 km/h acceleration by 10. tfsi refers to an FSI engine equipped with a turbocharger (T), a term commonly used in Audi series models. In the Volkswagen series, engines with direct injection (I), turbocharging (T), and mechanical (S) twin-charging are abbreviated as TSI, meaning fuel stratified injection, which is a type of lean-burn technology for engines.

Should You Turn on AC When Using Car Heater in Winter?

You don't need to turn on AC when using car heater in winter. The AC button controls the car's air conditioning compressor, which is only required when cooling in summer. Pressing the AC button activates the compressor for cooling. The heater simply utilizes the car's internal heat circulation principle without needing the air conditioning compressor. To use the heater, you only need to adjust the temperature control and turn on the blower fan. Therefore, there's no need to activate the AC switch when using car heater in winter. The heating system uses engine-generated heat to warm the air - after the engine cooling system dissipates heat from the engine, a fan directs this heat into the cabin as warm air. Even if you don't use the heater, the heat generated by engine operation would still be expelled outside the vehicle through normal heat circulation.

What Type of Engine Oil Should Be Used in Winter?

What type of engine oil should be used in winter depends on the lowest temperature in your region during winter. If the winter temperature in your area does not drop below -35 degrees Celsius, then 0W oil can be used. If it does not drop below -30 degrees Celsius, 5W oil can be used, and if it does not drop below -35 degrees Celsius, 10W oil is suitable. When selecting engine oil, it is essential to choose the appropriate viscosity for your car's engine based on its technical characteristics. The viscosity of the oil should not be too high or too low. If the viscosity is too low, the engine may not receive sufficient lubrication, which can increase wear and tear. If the viscosity is too high, it can increase the resistance the engine faces during operation, negatively affecting power output and fuel economy.

What vehicles can a B2 license drive?

A B2 driver's license allows the holder to operate medium and heavy-duty trucks or specialized operation vehicles, and also permits driving small cars, small automatic transmission vehicles, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, and wheeled self-propelled machinery. With a B2 license, one is allowed to drive blue-plate minibuses with 9 seats or fewer and a vehicle length under 6 meters. Among the medium and heavy-duty trucks permitted by a B2 license, there are no restrictions on tonnage or length, but the requirement is that the cargo compartment and the cargo hold must be on the same chassis. Some trucks where the cab can be detached from the trailer, known as tractors or commonly referred to as 'semi-trucks,' can only be driven with an A2 license.

What does the 'a' next to the electronic handbrake mean?

The 'a' next to the electronic handbrake represents the auto start-stop function, whose English name is autohold. After turning on this switch, when the vehicle is braked to a stop during driving, even if the brake is released, the vehicle will not continue to move. It will only resume driving when the accelerator is pressed, and can only be turned off manually. This function is suitable for situations like going up and down slopes or frequent starts and stops. The automatic parking system is a technical application that can achieve an automatic handbrake during vehicle operation. This technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stopped, and prevents unnecessary sliding when the automatic electronic parking brake is engaged.

What Components Make Up a Car's Power System?

An automobile's power system primarily consists of a battery, alternator, and voltage regulator. The alternator is responsible for charging the battery, keeping it sufficiently charged over time, while both the battery and alternator supply power to all the vehicle's electrical components. The battery is an essential part of the car and can be categorized into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. The car alternator serves as the main power source, functioning to supply electricity to all electrical devices and simultaneously charge the battery when the engine is running normally. Since the alternator is driven by the car's engine, and the engine's speed is not constant, the alternator's output voltage may fluctuate. Therefore, an electronic device is required to regulate the alternator, ensuring it outputs a relatively stable voltage across different engine speeds—this is the role of the voltage regulator.
