Where is the cabin air filter located in the Beidou Star?

The original Beidou Star model does not come with a cabin air filter, but it has a reserved installation position for one. The specific location is: Remove the glove compartment on the passenger side, and you will see a black box resembling a blower. Unscrew the screws on the black box, remove it, and the cabin air filter is placed inside. The Beidou Star is a family-oriented multi-purpose passenger vehicle jointly developed by Changhe Suzuki and Japan's Suzuki. In terms of body dimensions, the Beidou Star measures 3400mm in length, 1575mm in width, and 1670mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2335mm. Regarding power, the Beidou Star is equipped with a 1.4-liter naturally aspirated engine across all variants, delivering 97 horsepower and a maximum torque of 120 Nm. This engine features VVT technology and multi-point fuel injection, and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
As a seasoned driver who has been driving a Beidou Star for many years, I remember the cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. To be more specific, open the glove box and take a closer look inside. There’s usually a small cover or clip—just unscrew it or gently pry it open, and the filter will be sitting right there. Last time I replaced it myself, I noticed it’s very close to the air intake, so it gets clogged with dust easily. If you don’t replace it in time, the car will start to smell musty. The replacement process is simple: use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the cover, take out the old filter, and insert the new one—just make sure the arrow points in the direction of the airflow. A new filter costs less than 30 yuan online, and it only takes about five minutes to do it yourself. Replacing it once in spring and autumn keeps the AC blowing fresh and saves you a trip to the repair shop.
