Method for replacing the cabin air filter in GS4: First, open the glove box cover of the GS4, locate the fixing buckle on the right side of the glove box, and pull it outward with force to remove the glove box. After removal, you will see the cabin air filter cover. Press the fixing buckles on both sides of the cover firmly, and the cover can be removed. Finally, pull out the old cabin air filter to the outside and install the new one. The Trumpchi GS4 is a compact SUV with dimensions of 4545mm in length, 1856mm in width, and 1668mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2680mm.

Last time I replaced the air filter for my GS4, the whole process was much simpler than I imagined. First, open the glove compartment on the passenger side, you'll see clips on both sides, just press them gently to remove it. The filter is usually behind the glove compartment under a cover, unscrew the screws or simply pry it open to remove the old one. Beginners should pay attention to the direction of the filter, usually there's an arrow indicating the airflow direction, installing it backwards will affect its performance. I recommend replacing it every 10,000 kilometers or every six months, especially in areas with poor air quality, to prevent bacteria buildup and health issues. If you do it yourself, you can buy the filter online for just a few dozen bucks, saving a lot compared to going to the 4S shop, and you barely need any tools, though a flashlight might help. Remember not to do it on humid days to avoid dust flying everywhere, and test the AC after installation—if it smells fresh, you're good to go. The whole process took me less than 15 minutes, saving money and giving me peace of mind.

After replacing the air conditioning filter for my GS4, the airflow from the AC has noticeably improved, and the unpleasant odors have disappeared. I located the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat, gently pulled it open, and found two small clips on either side that required a bit of finesse to press down. The filter was hidden beneath a plastic cover in this area, which I simply pried open to remove the old one and install the new one. The first time I did it, I forgot to check the arrow direction on the filter, which led to poor performance, but I fixed it by reinstalling it correctly. I usually replace it every six months, especially before summer, to prevent dust allergies. Doing it myself is very economical—online filters cost just a few dozen yuan, and I always choose the original brand. After the replacement, the AC airflow feels much healthier, and the air quality inside the car has improved significantly. The entire process costs less than 10 yuan, much cheaper than going to a repair shop.

I've replaced the air conditioning filter in my GS4 several times myself. First, go to the passenger side, open the glove compartment to see the inner lining clips, press lightly to unlock and remove them. The filter box is right behind, just open the cover to replace it, making sure the arrow points forward. It's best to change it every 8,000 kilometers, especially during pollen season to prevent allergies. Regular replacement can extend the air conditioning system's lifespan, save fuel, and avoid repair costs.

I tried replacing the GS4's cabin air filter myself. First, sit in the passenger seat, open the glove compartment in the footwell, and gently press the plastic panels on both sides to release them. Inside is the filter compartment - just lift the cover, remove the old filter, and insert the new one making sure it's oriented correctly. Be careful not to use the wrong model; look online for GS4-specific filters to avoid issues. After replacement, the AC ventilation became smoother and breathing more comfortable - a simple, convenient way to save money.

I replaced the cabin air filter on my GS4, and the steps were really straightforward. When removing the glove compartment on the passenger side, I first noticed the clips on both sides—just press them to easily detach. The filter is hidden behind a rectangular cover panel; simply unclip it to replace. Remember to align the new filter with the arrow mark during installation—installing it backward will reduce airflow. Doing it myself saved money; the filter only cost around 50 yuan, while a dealership visit would cost hundreds. It's best to replace it during seasonal transitions, every six months, to maintain fresh and healthy air inside the car. The whole process took under 10 minutes with minimal risk, just avoid doing it in dusty areas.

Does the fuel from private gas stations contain added water?

Private gas stations generally do not add water to their fuel. Here are some precautions to consider when refueling your vehicle: Avoid overfilling the tank: Overfilling can easily block the vent hole of the fuel tank. Once the vent hole is blocked, the pressure inside the tank will drop below normal levels, leading to poor fuel supply or even a complete failure to supply fuel. Overfilling also increases the vehicle's weight, thereby increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, gasoline can deteriorate, posing potential safety hazards. Try to avoid waiting for the low fuel warning before refueling: While driving, always pay attention to the fuel gauge. When the indicator shows only a quarter of the tank remaining, it's time to refuel. If the tank is left empty for too long, the temperature difference between the inside and outside can cause condensation inside the tank, leading to corrosion, degraded fuel quality, and increased engine burden.

Is Parking Prohibited During Water Wading?

Parking is prohibited during water wading. Here are some precautions regarding vehicle water wading: Water Conditions: Electric vehicles are still vehicles and should not be forced to wade through water during short-term heavy rain or storms when the road conditions are unfamiliar, to avoid the risk of vehicle flooding due to excessive water depth. If the water condition cannot be determined, it is advisable to choose an alternative route. Power System Shutdown: If trapped in water during heavy rainfall, and the electric vehicle's power system shuts down due to water immersion, do not attempt to restart the power system. Instead, leave the vehicle safely and call for rescue assistance. Post-immersion Inspection: After an electric vehicle has been submerged for an extended period and rescued, do not attempt to restart the power system. Professional technicians should conduct appropriate inspections on the high-voltage system components and battery pack. It is recommended to let the vehicle remain stationary for a period before sending it to the repair workshop for further inspection.
