I've been driving the JAC X5 for a while now, and the cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove box, you'll see a plastic cover inside. Just press the clips on both sides gently to lift it off, and the filter is hidden underneath. It's quite convenient to replace, you can do it yourself without any professional tools. I usually replace the filter every 10,000 kilometers, which keeps the air from the AC dust-free and the cabin air much fresher. Before parking, I always check if the filter cover is loose to prevent dust from getting in. Choose a good quality filter, don't go for the cheapest ones, as they can filter out pollen and dust, making long drives more comfortable and keeping you alert. If I ever forget the exact location, I can always refer to the owner's manual. This little bit of maintenance saves a lot of money on repair shop visits.

I enjoy DIY car maintenance in my spare time. The air conditioning filter of the JAC X5 is very easy to locate: sit in the passenger seat, pull open the glove box, and you'll find a small latch inside. Press it open to see the filter. When replacing it, prepare a new filter and a screwdriver (which might be needed). It only takes a few minutes to complete, just be careful not to damage the plastic parts. The filter is positioned here to avoid the influence of engine heat, making the air conditioning filtration more efficient. I recommend checking it every six months or so. Too much dust accumulation can affect cooling efficiency and even fuel consumption, and in severe cases, it can cause unpleasant odors. Make sure the filter size matches the original factory specifications, and check the model number carefully when buying online. Doing it yourself not only saves money but also helps you learn about your car's structure, which is much more convenient than going to a shop. Regularly replacing the filter maintains a healthy interior environment and ensures a more comfortable driving experience.

Having driven for over a decade, I can tell you that the cabin air filter in cars like the JAC X5 is usually located under the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open the compartment door, and you'll find a removable panel on the inner side. Simply pull out the old filter and replace it with a new one. Be careful not to spill any dust during the process. The hidden placement of the filter is designed to prevent external contamination while making routine maintenance convenient. Check it every 5,000 kilometers—replace it if it looks blackened; don't delay. A clean filter ensures smoother air conditioning operation and prevents respiratory issues. I've grown accustomed to this method—it's straightforward and effective.

What Type of Engine Oil is Best for the First Car Maintenance?

Every vehicle comes with a manufacturer-recommended standard original engine oil. If not specifically specified, using the original engine oil is sufficient for both the first maintenance and subsequent regular services. Types of engine oil: Mineral Oil: Mineral oil is directly refined from crude oil without the addition of other additives. It is suitable for low-displacement, non-turbocharged vehicles or those with infrequent usage, typically around 5,000 kilometers in half a year. If you don't drive often, mineral oil offers the best economic value. Semi-Synthetic Oil: Semi-synthetic oil is a blended product made by mixing mineral oil and full synthetic oil through a compounding process. It offers the best cost-performance ratio and is a great choice for drivers who frequently use their cars. Its oil change interval is around 7,500 kilometers, making it suitable for most vehicle models. Full Synthetic Oil: Full synthetic oil is more expensive compared to the previous two types but offers superior performance. Whether in terms of stability, lubrication, low-temperature performance, or cleanliness, it far outperforms mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil. Its replacement interval exceeds 10,000 kilometers, and many car owners experience noticeable performance improvements after switching to full synthetic oil.

Why does the screen go black when connecting Apple CarPlay to the car?

The main reasons for the black screen when connecting Apple CarPlay to the car are: In-vehicle computer crash: As modern cars have numerous electronic components, especially with the continuous updates of car connectivity systems, many vehicles' multimedia systems have become increasingly complex, leading to more frequent occurrences of dashboard screen malfunctions. You can try turning off and restarting the vehicle and its onboard computer to see if the screen display recovers. If the problem persists after repeated attempts, schedule a visit to a 4S shop for module inspection, software refresh, or repair. Connector detachment: Since many wiring connections use direct plug-in connectors, they may become detached or loose due to bumpy road conditions or original installation quality issues, resulting in dashboard screen failure. This can only be resolved by visiting a 4S shop or repair shop to disassemble the rear of the screen and securely reconnect the connectors.

Why does the steering wheel shake when the car reaches 100 km/h?

In most cases, steering wheel vibration at 100 km/h is caused by wheel dynamic balance issues. The solution is to add counterweights to the wheels while they are in motion to correct the balance at various edge points - this process is called dynamic balancing. Other possible causes include shock absorber failure, frame deformation, or excessive clearance between the driving and driven gears of the final drive. It is recommended that owners regularly perform dynamic balance checks on their wheels. The dynamic balancing procedure is as follows: 1. Remove the logo in the center of the hub, install the dynamic balancer for measurement, and input the data. 2. Measure the rim width and input the data. 3. According to the computer-calculated data, add appropriate dynamic balance weights to both the inner and outer sides of the rim. When the re-test meets the standard, the process is complete.

What does 3 years or 100,000 kilometers mean?

A three-year or 100,000-kilometer warranty means that if any non-human-induced issues arise with the vehicle within three years or 100,000 kilometers, the manufacturer will provide free repairs or replacements. After exceeding either the time or mileage limit, the vehicle will no longer be covered by the warranty. Warranty coverage: The scope and duration of the vehicle warranty do not apply uniformly to all components, meaning not all parts of the car will have the same warranty period. The benefits of car maintenance: 1. Keeps the vehicle in optimal technical condition, improving its operational readiness. 2. With proper usage, reduces the likelihood of breakdowns caused by mechanical failures, thereby enhancing transportation efficiency. 3. Prevents mechanical accidents and eliminates potential driving hazards. 4. Reduces fuel and lubricant consumption as well as tire wear. 5. Effectively controls vehicle noise and environmental pollution.

At What Water Level Does the Engine Risk Taking in Water?

When the water level reaches above 20 centimeters, there is a risk of water entering the engine. For ordinary sedans, when the water level exceeds 20 centimeters (for SUVs with higher ground clearance, this threshold increases to 30 centimeters), the engine is at risk of water ingress. Water can enter the engine primarily through two pathways: Low intake pipe entrance: Due to the low position of the engine's intake pipe entrance, water can be sucked into the engine when the vehicle is driving through flooded areas. Exhaust outlet below the waterline: If the exhaust pipe outlet is below the waterline, water can be drawn into the engine through the exhaust. Below is relevant information: After water enters the engine, it will inevitably stall: Since water entering the cylinders lacks lubricating properties, blindly restarting the engine after stalling may cause severe damage, such as cylinder scoring, leading to engine failure. The correct procedure is to push the vehicle to a higher, dry area, contact the insurance company, and then tow the car to a repair shop for inspection. Check the condition of all vehicle system fluids: This is to prevent issues like foaming or contamination of the engine oil, which can degrade its lubricating properties. Additionally, water may carry sand particles, causing excessive engine wear. Prompt cleaning and replacement are necessary. After inspection, clean the electrical connections in the engine compartment to prevent corrosion or sand residue caused by trapped moisture. Key areas to clean include: The fuse box, sensor connectors, and areas where water may accumulate in the vehicle body. After cleaning these components, conduct a road test, maintaining moderate to low speeds, and listen carefully for any abnormal engine noises. If significant noise is detected, inspect the engine bearings and rotating components again to ensure they are not damaged due to excessive wear.

What is the best way to clean spark plugs?

Spark plugs are best cleaned using carburetor cleaner. Carburetor cleaner is specifically designed for removing oil, grease, and carbon deposits, effectively cleaning carbon buildup without damaging the spark plugs. Spark plugs can also be cleaned with white vinegar, carburetor cleaner, or toilet cleaner. The cleaning methods for spark plugs are as follows: 1. White vinegar: Place the spark plug in a glass container, pour white vinegar until it covers the spark plug, soak for 2 to 3 hours, then scrub clean with a stiff toothbrush and let it air dry. 2. Carburetor cleaner: Place the spark plug head-down in a glass bottle, spray carburetor cleaner into the bottle until the spark plug is submerged, cover the bottle, wait for about half an hour, then remove it, scrub clean with a toothbrush, and let it air dry or use a hair dryer to dry it. 3. Toilet cleaner: Soak the spark plug's ignition electrode directly in pure toilet cleaner, place it in a ventilated environment for 10 minutes, remove it when the bubbles gradually decrease, rinse with white vinegar, and let it air dry.
