2 Answers
The air conditioning filter of Trumpchi GS5 is located in the engine compartment, right in front of the battery. The functions of the air conditioning filter are: 1. To provide fresh air; 2. To absorb harmful substances; 3. To filter solid impurities. Taking the 2021 GAC Trumpchi GS5 as an example, it belongs to the mid-size SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4695mm, width 1885mm, height 1726mm, wheelbase 2710mm, and fuel tank capacity 55l. The 2021 GAC Trumpchi GS5 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 169PS, maximum power of 124kW, maximum torque of 265Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I drive quite often and have experience with the Trumpchi GS5. The cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. You'll need to open the glove box, empty its contents, then locate the clips or screws at the bottom. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen them and gently remove the glove box. At this point, you'll see a rectangular plastic housing - open its cover to access and replace the old filter. I've changed it several times myself; the process requires only basic tools (no professional equipment) and takes about 20 minutes. I recommend regular replacement, such as annually or every 10,000 km, to prevent AC odors and dust accumulation. Always choose OEM-specified filters - don't compromise quality for cheap alternatives as inferior filters reduce efficiency and may degrade cabin air quality. Paying attention to this maintenance detail ensures driving comfort and peace of mind.
