2 Answers
Guangqi Trumpchi GS5's air filter is located inside the glove box on the passenger side. After removing the glove box, you can see the air filter. Below is the method for replacing the air filter: 1. Turn off the vehicle and open the glove box. 2. Press both sides of the glove box. 3. Remove the glove box. 4. Press the fixing clips of the air filter cover and remove the cover simultaneously. 5. Take out the air filter. 6. Insert the new air filter into the air filter housing (pay attention to the installation direction of the air filter). 7. Install the air filter by following the previous steps in reverse order.
When I first drove the GAC GS5, I was also curious about the location of the cabin air filter. Later, I replaced it myself once and found it behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open the glove box drawer, locate a plastic cover inside, usually secured by several clips. Remove it, and you'll see the filter housing. The design is quite convenient—no additional tools are needed. Just pull out the old filter and install the new one. I recommend replacing it every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, especially in humid southern regions where the filter is prone to mold, affecting air freshness. Regular replacement also protects the air conditioning system, preventing impurities from clogging the ducts and causing unpleasant odors that can affect your driving mood. Buying the filter yourself costs just a few dozen yuan, much more convenient than visiting a repair shop. It's simple and practical—give it a try!
