Locating the air conditioning filter on the Trumpchi GS5 is quite straightforward, as it's primarily hidden inside the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. First, open the glove box and check for any retaining clips or screws—simply press or unscrew them gently. Then, carefully pull down the entire compartment without forcing it to avoid damaging the plastic parts. The filter housing will then be exposed, usually covered by a rectangular lid. Open the lid to directly remove the old filter. It's recommended to inspect or replace the filter approximately every 10,000 kilometers, and address any unusual odors promptly, especially in hot weather. If you're doing it yourself, just purchase a compatible filter, and refer to the manual if unsure about the size. The whole process takes about ten minutes, and wearing dust-proof gloves can prevent dust allergies for added safety. Regular replacement also improves in-cabin air quality and reduces respiratory discomfort.

As a car enthusiast, I've changed the air filter for my GS5 several times myself. The filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. After opening the glove box, you'll find a small recess housing the filter compartment cover. Once the cover is removed, the filter can be pulled out. Take your time during the operation and remove it gently to avoid breaking the clips. I recommend checking it every six months or before long trips, and using OEM filters offers good value for money. Here's a little tip: After replacement, turn on the AC and let it run for a few minutes. If the airflow feels even and odor-free, you're good to go. This saves money and effort while keeping the cabin air fresher. Regular maintenance reduces pollen and dust accumulation, which is especially important for owners with babies at home.

What Causes the Brake Noise in Binyue?

The causes of brake noise in Binyue: 1. If it is a new car, because the brake pads and brake discs are new and still in the break-in period, they may produce a slight hissing sound, which is normal; 2. There is foreign matter between the brake pads and brake discs; 3. On rainy days or when there is water in the brake discs, the brake pads and brake discs are relatively damp, and braking at low speeds can easily cause a vibrating whining sound; 4. The brake discs and brake pads are stuck together due to rust. Binyue is an A-class SUV under Geely Auto. In terms of appearance, the headlights feature sharp angles, complemented by two arc-shaped LED daytime running lights, making them more dynamic and sharp. The C-shaped fog light frames are treated with a three-dimensional effect, giving a strong sense of power.

What is the temperature inside a car engine compartment?

The temperature inside a car engine compartment is approximately 90 degrees Celsius. Due to the obstruction of the engine hood, the hot air in the engine compartment cannot escape from the top. Moving backward towards the cabin, this area is isolated by a firewall, which is wrapped with aluminum foil reflective film and insulation cotton, making it difficult for heat to transfer into the cabin. Therefore, the heat can only be expelled from the bottom of the engine compartment. During normal driving, even if the cooling fan is not operating, the incoming airflow from the grille can achieve the same cooling effect. Additionally, the high-speed airflow passing beneath the vehicle's chassis creates a certain negative pressure at the bottom of the engine compartment, drawing out and carrying away the hot air. When idling in place, the engine temperature rises rapidly because there is no airflow to dissipate the heat from the engine compartment.

Does Electric Power Steering Require Oil?

There are two types of electric power steering systems. One is the pure electric power steering commonly used in Japanese cars, which is directly driven by an electric motor and does not require replacing power steering fluid. The other type, commonly used in European and American vehicles, employs an electric motor as the oil pump for the power steering system, with the hydraulic fluid from the pump driving the steering mechanism. This type of system uses power steering fluid, which should be replaced every 2 years or 30,000 kilometers to prevent contamination or deterioration. Characteristics of electric power steering: 1. It significantly improves both dynamic and static performance of the vehicle; 2. Reduces fuel consumption; 3. Enhances steering responsiveness; 4. Improves handling stability; 5. Enhances steering return characteristics; 6. Reduces environmental pollution, aligning with the trend of green technology; 7. Features a simple system structure and compact size.

What Are the Reasons Why an Electric Vehicle Cannot Shift Gears?

Electric vehicles cannot shift gears for the following reasons: 1. Lack of transmission oil: If the transmission components are low on oil, shifting gears will become difficult. Transmission oil is similar to engine oil, serving to lubricate the gear components. If the transmission is low on oil, it should be replenished promptly. 2. Rust on the transmission input shaft: The clutch driven disc cannot move normally, leading to poor return and preventing the gear from engaging along the normal path, thus making it difficult to shift gears. 3. Clutch malfunction: This results in insufficient clutch release travel, causing incomplete clutch disengagement and preventing gear engagement. In such cases, it is necessary to visit a repair shop to adjust the release travel.

What to Do If Windshield Washer Fluid is Accidentally Added to the Antifreeze?

Solutions for accidentally adding windshield washer fluid to the antifreeze: If the windshield washer fluid has just been added to the antifreeze and the car has not been started yet, drain all the contaminated antifreeze, rinse with clean water twice, and then replace it with new antifreeze. If the car has been running for some time and the windshield washer fluid has already entered the antifreeze pipeline system, it is necessary to thoroughly clean and replace the antifreeze. The car should be towed to a 4S shop or a professional repair shop for cleaning. Windshield washer fluid not only lowers the freezing point of the antifreeze but also reduces its boiling point. Engine cooling is achieved through the radiator antifreeze. A lower boiling point means the engine cannot be effectively cooled, leading to increased engine temperature. This causes the engine oil to lose viscosity, reducing its lubrication performance and posing significant harm to the vehicle. Additionally, windshield washer fluid is corrosive.
