2 Answers
To replace the cabin air filter in a GS4, first remove the upper clips, then proceed to remove the lower clips. After removing the glove box, you will see the cabin air filter cover. Similarly, remove the air filter cover. The old original cabin air filter will be visible; simply pull it out. Finally, install the new cabin air filter, ensuring the model matches. The functions of the cabin air filter include the following 5 points: 1. It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. 3. It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, providing strong and long-lasting moisture adsorption. 4. It supplies fresh air to the passenger compartment, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases, ensuring driving safety, and effectively sterilizing and deodorizing. 5. It maintains clean air in the passenger compartment, preventing bacterial growth and creating a healthy environment.
As a seasoned GS4 driver for several years, I'm quite familiar with changing the cabin air filter. First, open the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat, noting there are clips or screws on both sides - gently pry them open or unscrew them. Then pull out the filter cover; the old filter might be clogged with dust, so remove it carefully and don't forget to check the arrow direction. When installing the new filter, make sure to align the direction correctly to avoid reduced filtration efficiency. I've done this several times myself - it takes just minutes and saves me about a hundred bucks at repair shops. Pro tip: replace it every six months or 10,000 km to prevent musty AC odors from harming your lungs. All you need are gloves and a screwdriver - be careful not to break the clips. After replacement, test if the airflow from vents feels smoother.
