Where is the cabin air filter located in a Jinbei vehicle?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in a Jinbei vehicle is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. When replacing the cabin air filter, ensure the blower motor is turned off and choose an unobstructed location to avoid accidents. Refer to the owner's manual for filter specifications and required tools. The key functions of a cabin air filter include: 1) Adsorbing moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc. from the air. 2) Providing strong and lasting moisture absorption to prevent windshield fogging, ensuring clear visibility and driving safety. 3) Delivering fresh air to the cabin, protecting occupants from harmful gases. 4) Effectively sterilizing and deodorizing to maintain clean cabin air and prevent bacterial growth. 5) Filtering solid impurities like dust, powder, and abrasive particles from the air.
I've been driving a Jinbei minivan for ten years, and the cabin air filter is mainly located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to pull out the glove box and lower it downward, or release the clips to access a small cover hiding the filter. When replacing it yourself, be careful not to apply excessive force that could damage the plastic parts—it's advisable to disconnect the battery's negative terminal first to prevent short circuits. The location is similar for most Jinbei models like the Haise or Grace, but for newer models, you should check the manual to confirm. A key tip is that a clogged filter will result in weak airflow or foul odors from the AC, affecting cabin air quality—especially bad for people with asthma. I usually inspect it every six months, and in dusty areas, you should replace it more frequently. DIY replacement is easy and takes just ten minutes. Buying a compatible filter from an auto parts store is both affordable and hassle-free.
