The cabin air filter of the BAIC New Energy EC5 is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, you need to open the glove compartment. There is a damper on the right side that needs to be removed first. There are two limiters on the glove compartment, which need to be squeezed inward by hand to release them, allowing the glove compartment to be removed. The BAIC New Energy EC5 is a pure electric compact SUV. Its safety features include anti-lock braking system, electronic brakeforce distribution, driver and passenger airbags, and tire pressure monitoring. The vehicle's high beam light source uses halogen headlights, which provide excellent illumination.

I've been driving the BAIC New Energy EC5 for several years, and the filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side, which is quite convenient. Before replacing it, take out the contents first, then locate the small clips on both sides of the glove compartment. Gently press them downward to remove the compartment, revealing a small cover behind it. Open the cover to see where the filter is placed. It's recommended to replace the filter every six months or after driving 10,000 kilometers. The filter traps dust and pollen, which is crucial for health. I buy filters online for just over thirty yuan—avoid using low-quality ones, just stick to the original model. Wear gloves when replacing it yourself to prevent dust from falling in and clogging the system. After replacement, turn on the AC immediately for a fresh feel, and it also extends the AC's lifespan, saving money and ensuring peace of mind.

The cabin air filter of the EC5 is located behind the small storage compartment on the passenger side. I was quite confused when I first tried to find it. Open the glove box, and you'll see a small rectangular cover on the inner side. Gently pry it open to remove the filter. The position is well-designed and not particularly hard to locate—just avoid making a mess when removing it. The filter plays a significant role in blocking outdoor pollutants like smoke, dust, or odors, which affect the air quality inside the car. I replace it every quarter, buying a scented one from JD.com for better results. The replacement process is simple and quick, even for beginners. Regular maintenance ensures comfortable breathing while driving.

I drive my kids to school and am very concerned about the air quality in the EC5. The air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. It's easy to operate: after emptying the compartment, press the buttons on both sides to release it, then open the small cover to remove the filter. The filter traps bacteria and dust, which is good for children with sensitive constitutions. I buy the activated carbon type to absorb odors. Replace it every six months, and don't forget about the installation direction. After replacement, the air inside the car purifies much faster. Pay attention to safety details to prevent pollution.

What Does 'Car Purchase Includes License Plate Registration' Mean?

'Car purchase includes license plate registration' means that the 4S dealership will assist with the vehicle registration process, eliminating the need for the buyer to personally handle the license plate application. Below is a detailed introduction to car license plate registration: 1. The difference between dealership-assisted registration and self-registration: Apart from the cost difference, there is no other distinction. Using the dealership's service is more expensive than self-registration. If you have ample time or know someone at the vehicle management office, you can handle the registration yourself. If you are short on time and don't mind the additional service fee charged by the dealership, you can let the 4S dealership handle the registration. 2. The following documents are required for vehicle registration: vehicle certificate of conformity, triplicate purchase invoice, vehicle purchase tax certificate (original and duplicate), insurance policy, and original ID card along with a copy. With these five documents, you can proceed to the vehicle management office for registration and vehicle inspection. The vehicle management office primarily checks the vehicle identification number (VIN), vehicle appearance, and the warning triangle sign, so prepare these in advance.

Do I need to register after changing the rims?

Modifying rims is not allowed in principle, so changing rims also requires registration. The following is relevant information about rim modifications: 1. Overview: Rim modifications are relatively conspicuous and can be visually identified whether a vehicle has modified rims. Many people mistakenly believe that upgrading rims is not only for aesthetics but also for attracting attention. In fact, apart from aesthetic factors, rim modifications can also achieve the goals of improving heat dissipation and weight reduction. However, the impact of a set of rims on driving safety is something to be aware of during rim modifications. 2. Basic parameters of rims: Each rim has a center hole, but the diameter of the center hole varies among different rims. The center bore diameter indicates the size of the rim's center hole. If the center bore diameter of the modified rim differs from the vehicle's original value, it can be installed using an adapter. However, due to the additional adapter connection, the ability to handle bumps and other road conditions during actual driving will be correspondingly reduced.

How to Repair Damaged Car Plastic?

Here are the methods to repair damaged car plastic: 1. Minor scratches: For slightly more severe scratches where the underlying primer color is visible, the repair approach depends on the location of the damage. Typically, areas like the bumper, rearview mirrors, and some wheel arches are made of engineering plastic and won't rust, so whether to repaint depends on the owner's preference. Additionally, you can gently apply toothpaste to shallow scratches and then wipe counterclockwise with a soft cotton cloth. Repeating this several times not only reduces the scratches but also prevents air from corroding the damaged paint. 2. Scratches exposing the primer: Touch-up pens are available at most auto parts stores. Owners can purchase the correct color by providing their car model and the official color name. Before use, shake the touch-up pen well, then carefully apply the paint along the direction of the scratch. Once the touched-up area is dry, apply fine wax to finish the repair.
