The Beidou Star's cabin air filter is located under the front windshield of the car. More precautions for using the Beidou Star are as follows: 1. The interior of the car is very prone to bacterial growth. If passengers inhale these for a long time, it can affect their health. During each maintenance check, you can inspect whether the cabin air filter is clogged. If the clogging is not severe, it can be cleaned and reused; there is no need to replace it immediately. 2. It is important to replace the cabin air filter with a new one in a timely manner. When cleaning the cabin air filter, never use water. Generally, compressed air is used to blow the filter from the reverse side for cleaning.

I remember in my Suzuki Alto (Beidou Xing), after long-term use, the cabin air filter is hidden under the dashboard on the passenger side. You can usually see it by opening the glove compartment. That little thing mainly filters incoming air, like dust, pollen, etc. After replacing it with a new one, the air inside the car becomes much fresher, which is good for health. Changing it yourself is actually quite simple – just buy a matching filter online and follow the tutorial; it takes about ten minutes. Be careful not to use too much force when removing the glove compartment, as the clips might break. I recommend checking it every six months, especially when driving in the city where pollution is heavy and dust accumulates easily. Neglecting it can reduce the airflow from the AC and even cause unpleasant odors. Replacing it during regular car maintenance saves money and gives peace of mind. The Alto is designed quite conveniently for this, so even beginners can give it a try.

Having played with cars for years, I know every corner of the Beidou Star quite well. The cabin air filter is located under the dashboard on the passenger side, behind the glove box. When removing it, just pry open the clips—it's not too complicated. The filter plays a significant role: it filters out fine dust and pollen, keeping the air inside the car clean, which is especially friendly for those with allergies. When replacing it, opt for an activated carbon filter, as it performs better than the original one. DIYing it is full of fun—every time you replace it, you feel like the AC cools more efficiently, and it also prevents bacterial growth. Don’t forget to check it regularly, ideally every six months, and always turn off the engine for safety. Many Beidou Star owners often overlook this, but proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of the AC system.

When I first drove the Beidou Star, I wondered where the cabin air filter was. Later, I found out it's located under the dashboard in front of the passenger seat, accessible by opening the glove compartment. It functions like a filter screen, blocking external debris from entering the car, and replacing it makes breathing more comfortable. The process is simple: buy a new filter, remove the old one, and install the new one, but avoid doing it when the engine is hot. It's recommended to check it every season, especially in dusty urban areas. Neglecting it can lead to strange noises from the AC. If you're not confident in your DIY skills, look for tutorial videos.
