Trumpchi GS5 air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace the Trumpchi GS5 air filter, the glove compartment needs to be removed. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Open the glove compartment on the passenger side and clear out any items inside. 2. There are clips on both the left and right sides of the glove compartment. Release these clips and press the glove compartment downward. 3. Once the glove compartment is removed, you will see a square plastic cover inside, which is the air filter cover. 4. The air filter cover has clips on both sides. Press the clips to open the cover. 5. Once the cover is open, you can pull out the old air filter and replace it with a new one. Note that the air filter has a specific orientation, so pay special attention to the correct side when installing it.
I remember helping a friend with the cabin air filter issue on his Trumpchi GS5 before. The filter is located in the footwell area in front of the front passenger seat, requiring the glove box to be opened and several panels removed to access the rectangular housing. When replacing the filter, pay attention to its orientation – the arrow should point toward the airflow direction inside the cabin. The actual procedure is straightforward: first empty the glove box, locate and release hidden clips or unscrew fasteners, pull out the old filter and insert the new one. The whole process takes about ten minutes. It's recommended to replace it every six months, especially during dusty seasons, to effectively filter pollen and dust, maintaining fresh cabin air. After my last replacement, the air conditioner's airflow noticeably increased, and odors disappeared, which greatly improved comfort during long drives. DIY replacement saves costs and helps prevent potential AC system clogging issues – definitely worth trying.
