How to Replace the Cabin Air Filter in the Binyue?

[JuliaDella]

Binyue's cabin air filter is located in front of the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, open and flip down the glove compartment, then remove and replace the cabin air filter directly. The air filter can absorb dust particles, reduce respiratory discomfort, minimize irritation for allergy sufferers, enhance driving comfort, and protect the air conditioning cooling system. The Binyue is the first SUV model under Geely's BMA modular architecture, positioned as a compact SUV. It measures 4330mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1609mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2600mm, and is powered by a 1.5TD turbocharged engine.

I've changed the air filter for my Bin Yue several times, and it's quite easy to do it myself. Just get a Phillips screwdriver, and a glove box tool would be handy for beginners, but you can manage without it. First, open the glove box on the passenger side and empty its contents. You'll see small clips or screws on both sides—use the tool to gently unscrew them, being careful not to apply too much force to avoid cracking the plastic parts. Once the glove box is removed, the filter cover will be exposed. Carefully pry open the cover and check the old filter for blackening or dust. If it's dirty, it's time for a replacement. You can buy a new filter at an auto parts store—just remember to align the arrow on the filter with the airflow direction for optimal performance. When reinstalling, place the new filter into the slot first, then reposition the cover and glove box, tightening the screws to finish. Finally, start the car and test the AC on high to check for any impurities or odors in the airflow. I recommend changing it every six months to maintain fresh air and protect the AC system. I've been doing this for years and saved a lot on repair costs.

As a car owner, I think replacing the air conditioning filter is actually not difficult and suitable for beginners to try. You need to prepare a new filter, which can be ordered from auto parts stores or online specifically for the Geely Binyue model, usually costing just a few dozen yuan. In terms of steps, first sit in the passenger seat, open the glove box, and gently press down on the clips inside to remove the box. Then locate the filter compartment cover, usually at the back, and pry it open by hand to see the old filter. Carefully remove it without leaving any debris. The key to installing the new filter is the direction—remember that the arrow on the edge of the filter should face the front of the car. After that, close the compartment cover and snap the glove box back into place. The whole process takes about ten minutes and doesn’t require any complex tools. I recommend checking the filter during each maintenance service or replacing it yourself when it looks dirty to avoid air conditioning odors and bacterial growth, ensuring healthier air inside the car. The whole process is quite hassle-free, and as long as you take it slow, you won’t damage the car.

I'm considering changing the air conditioning filter myself to save money. The steps are simple: open the glove compartment on the passenger side, remove the fixing parts, take out the old filter and clean the compartment. Install the new filter with the arrow facing outward, then reassemble the cover and glove compartment to finish. I usually change it every six months, and buying compatible filter models costs much less than going to the 4S dealership. Remember to test the air conditioning after replacement to avoid malfunctions.
