How to Replace the Air Conditioning Filter in GS4?
3 Answers
Method for replacing the air conditioning filter in GS4: 1. Open the glove box cover, locate the fixing buckle on the right side of the glove box, and pull it outward firmly to remove the glove box; 2. After removal, the air conditioning filter cover plate will be visible. Press firmly on the fixing buckles on both sides of the cover plate to remove it; 3. Pull the old air conditioning filter outward and install the new one. The GS4 is an "International New Trend SUV" under GAC Trumpchi, inheriting the family's wing-shaped horizontal design layout. The piano lacquer decorative parts extend to the doors, and the surrounding trim strips full of technological and sculptural sense run through the front cabin.
Changing the air conditioning filter on the Trumpchi GS4 is very simple, and I often do it myself. First, you need to open the glove box and locate the buffer damper inside. Gently pry it open or remove it using your fingers or a small screwdriver. Then, push or pull the latch at the top of the glove box to remove the entire rear cover. The filter is located in a slot behind it, rectangular in shape—pay attention to the arrow direction. If the old filter has accumulated dust, simply pull it out and discard it. Insert the new filter in the correct direction, making sure not to reverse it, or it won't work. Reassemble the glove box as it was originally. The whole process doesn’t require any special tools, and a beginner can finish it in about ten minutes. I recommend replacing it every six months. Compatible filters bought online cost just a few dozen yuan and can improve the air quality inside the car and prevent allergies.
I just replaced the cabin air filter for my GS4, and it was quite easy. After opening the glove box, I had to remove the buffer hook on the right side by gently lifting it with my hand. Then, push the glove box upward to reveal the filter compartment cover. Open the cover and take out the old filter, which was covered in dust and quite dirty. Insert the new filter in the direction of the arrow—don’t get it wrong, or the airflow will be weak. Reinstall the cover and glove box, and you’re done. The first time I tried it, I inserted it backward, and the air wasn’t cool enough. After correcting it, the air felt much fresher. I recommend using OEM or reputable brand filters and checking them every quarter, especially in summer when the AC is used frequently. Proper maintenance saves money and hassle.
