Method for replacing the cabin air filter on a Besturn B50: Open the glove box, grasp both ends with both hands, and pull upwards firmly to remove the glove box. The blower motor is located inside, where the cabin air filter is housed. Remove the cover plate to access the cabin air filter. Pull out the old filter and insert the new one, paying attention to the correct orientation. The cabin air filter on the Besturn B50 is located inside the front storage compartment on the passenger side. The cabin air filter purifies air entering the vehicle interior from outside, improving air cleanliness. It typically filters impurities in the air including microscopic particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust. The purpose of the cabin air filter is to prevent these contaminants from entering and damaging the air conditioning system.
Last time I replaced the air conditioning filter on my Besturn B50 myself and found it quite simple. First, open the glove compartment on the passenger side by pressing firmly on both sides toward the center to let it fully drop down. Then you'll see a plastic cover panel behind it—pry open the clips on both sides to remove the cover, and the old filter will be sitting inside. Pay attention to the airflow direction indicated by the arrow on the side of the filter, and insert the new filter with the same orientation. Finally, reassemble the cover panel and glove compartment in reverse order—the whole process takes just five minutes without any tools. It's recommended to replace it every six months or 10,000 kilometers, especially in dusty northern areas where it should be changed more frequently. Otherwise, turning on the AC may produce a musty smell. Buying the filter yourself costs only 30 yuan, saving over 200 compared to dealership prices.
