Beidou Star air filter is located under the windshield in front of the front passenger seat. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Open the engine hood; 2. Open the plastic cover of the wiper; 3. Remove the old air filter to replace it. The Beidou Star is a micro car with a body size of 3400mm in length, 1575mm in width, 1670mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2335mm. The Beidou Star is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 71kW, a maximum power speed of 6000rpm, a maximum torque of 120Nm, and is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I've been driving my Beidou Star for six or seven years, and the cabin air filter is quite well hidden. It's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and you'll need to remove the glove box to access it. First, squeeze the retaining clips on both sides of the glove box towards the center, and the entire compartment can be removed. Behind it, there's a plastic cover—pry it open to reveal the white filter. Replacing it yourself is straightforward; buying the compatible model online costs only about twenty yuan. Last time I went to a repair shop to get it changed, they charged me eighty, which was a total rip-off. Remember to replace it twice a year, otherwise the air coming from the vents will be full of dust, making everyone in the car sneeze. Doing it yourself takes about ten minutes—saves money and hassle.

I always replace the air conditioning filter of my Beidou Star by myself. When locating the filter, just look in front of the passenger seat and remove the glove box. There are rubber bumpers on the side of the glove box; press them inward to remove the entire box. Behind it, there's a rectangular cover; pry open the clips to reveal the filter. Recently, I discovered a trick: when installing the new filter, pay attention to the arrow direction—installing it with the arrow pointing downward is correct. I recommend changing it frequently, especially during the willow catkin season in the north, as a clogged filter will cause the AC to hum loudly without blowing air. Doing it yourself saves at least fifty bucks compared to going to a shop, and you don't have to wait in line.

The air conditioning filter of the Beidou Star is located behind the glove box panel. First, empty the glove box, then press both sides inward with force to remove the entire box. There's a cover with clips behind it; use a flathead screwdriver to pry it open, then pull out the old filter and replace it with a new one. Last time, I found a clever trick: before installing the new filter, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the gaps in the glove box to prevent debris from falling into the blower. It's recommended to replace it every six months, or when there's noticeable resistance when using the external circulation. Changing it yourself is super easy and takes less than ten minutes.

How to Know if There Are Traffic Police Checking Vehicles?

Highways: Generally, traffic police or highway patrol do not conduct vehicle checks on highways, except for criminal police. 2. National and Provincial Roads: Vehicle checks on national and provincial roads also require approval from higher authorities. Setting up unauthorized checkpoints constitutes "three types of road disorder." 3. Traffic Inspection Points: Traffic inspection points approved by higher authorities are usually fixed at key locations on national and provincial roads, selected to minimize disruption to traffic flow. When driving on the road, drivers often interact with traffic police. If signaled to stop by the police, the correct procedures are: 1. Pull Over Safely: Upon seeing the traffic police's stop signal, avoid slamming the brakes or jerking the steering wheel. Activate the right turn signal to alert following vehicles. Pull over to the right at the designated spot or the nearest safe location as instructed. 2. Turn Off Engine and Exit: After safely parking, turn off the engine and bring necessary documents like the driver's license and vehicle registration to present to the officer. 3. Cooperate Actively: If stopped for a routine inspection (not for a violation), cooperate by opening the car doors and trunk for examination.

What is a Car Fuel Pump?

Fuel pump refers to the device located at the bottom of the vehicle that draws fuel from the fuel tank, pressurizes it, and delivers it to the fuel supply pipe and engine combustion chamber. During operation, it works in conjunction with the fuel pressure regulator to generate a certain fuel pressure, serving as a fundamental component of the electronic fuel injection system in cars. Below is relevant information: 1. Structural features of the fuel pump: The fuel pump consists of an electric motor, a pressure limiter, and a check valve. The electric motor actually operates within the fuel inside the pump housing, where the fuel lubricates and cools the motor. Since there are no ignition sources inside the housing, it generally does not pose any danger. The check valve is installed at the fuel outlet, and the pressure limiter is located on the pressure side of the pump housing, featuring a passage that leads back to the fuel inlet. 2. Precautions for fuel pump inspection: When inspecting the fuel pump, the engine and other electronic components must not be in operation, as running them can affect the voltage applied to the fuel pump and current readings, thereby compromising the inspection results.

Should You Open the Engine Hood After Driving on the Highway?

It is not necessary to open the engine hood after driving on the highway. Here are the reasons: 1. The car is equipped with coolant: The function of coolant is specifically to cool the engine. Its working principle is to use a water pump to increase the pressure of the coolant, allowing it to circulate through the engine's water channels, thereby achieving cooling. 2. The assistance of the cooling system: It cools down heated components to prevent issues. The cooling system mainly consists of a thermostat, cooling fan, and other cooling devices. Because of this system, the engine can effectively dissipate heat.
