Where is the Cabin Air Filter Located in the Beidou Star?

[IvanAnn]

The original Beidou Star model does not come with a cabin air filter, but it has a reserved slot for installation. The specific location is: 1. Remove the glove compartment on the passenger side, where you will see a black box resembling a blower. 2. Unscrew the bolts on the black box, remove it, and the cabin air filter is placed inside. Extended information: Functions of the cabin air filter: 1. Ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. Separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. 3. Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, with strong and lasting moisture absorption. 4. Prevents car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and safe driving; provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety; effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. 5. Maintains clean cabin air, preventing bacterial growth and creating a healthy environment; effectively separates solid impurities such as dust, core powder, and abrasive particles from the air; efficiently intercepts pollen, ensuring that drivers and passengers do not experience allergic reactions that could affect driving safety.

The air conditioning filter of the Beidou Star is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. You can find it by opening the glove box. When removing it, first empty all the contents inside, then squeeze both sides of the glove box to release it. Remember not to pull too hard, as breaking the clips would be troublesome. After removal, you'll see a plastic cover, which can be gently pried off. Inside, the rectangular filter is your target. I've changed it several times on my own car. The arrow on the filter should point towards the front of the car. Installing it backwards affects the filtration efficiency. Regularly replacing this is very important, especially during summer when the air conditioning is used frequently. Otherwise, it can accumulate dust and leaves, causing the air blown out to have a musty smell.

The air conditioning filter of the Beidouxing is located inside the glove box, and it's quite simple to replace it yourself. First, empty the glove box and press firmly on the clips on both sides to remove the entire unit. Then, you'll see a white plastic cover; you can pry it open with your fingernail to take out the filter. I make it a habit to replace it every six months because the car's air intake is located below the wipers, making it particularly prone to sucking in catkins and leaves. When installing a new filter, pay attention to the orientation—it usually has an arrow indicating the airflow direction. A dirty filter can reduce cooling efficiency and increase blower noise. I recommend buying an activated carbon version, which can filter out pollen and odors, making it especially friendly for those with allergies.

Replacing the Beidou Star's cabin air filter requires removing the glove box. First empty the storage compartment in front of the passenger seat, then squeeze both sides toward the middle to detach it, revealing the filter cover panel behind. Lift the cover and pull out the old filter, then insert the new filter following the arrow direction. Pay attention to how dirty the old filter is - owners in northern regions should ideally replace it each spring and autumn, as poplar catkins and sand dust easily clog the filter mesh. DIY replacement costs only about 20 yuan, much cheaper than visiting a 4S shop.

The key to removing the Beidou Star's cabin air filter lies in the glove box. After opening it, firmly press the left and right side walls of the storage compartment to release the clips, allowing the entire glove box to be removed. Behind it, open the black plastic cover, and you'll find the rectangular cabin air filter hidden inside. Last time I replaced it, I discovered a dried cockroach stuck inside, probably having crawled in through the fresh air intake. This type of filter should be replaced every 50,000 kilometers; otherwise, it can breed mold and pose health risks. When installing the new filter, don't forget to firmly press the sealing strip to prevent air leakage and noise.

The air conditioning filter of the Beidou Star is hidden behind the glove box, and you can replace it yourself in just three minutes. First, empty the glove box, press both sides inward with your hands, and it will come off with a click. Lift the rear panel, and the dirty filter is revealed. The design of this location is clever, as no tools are needed to replace the filter. It's recommended to choose a double-layer filter; the outer layer blocks leaves and sand, while the inner layer filters PM2.5. Remember to check before the rainy season—damp filters can easily mold, and the air blown out may carry a musty smell, which is bad for the respiratory system.
