Where is the cabin air filter located in the BYD Song MAX?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter of the BYD Song MAX is located behind the glove compartment in the blower unit. It should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers and inspected during each maintenance cycle to prevent debris from being sucked into the blower and damaging the blades. The BYD Song MAX has exterior dimensions of 4680mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1680mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2785mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 118 kW and a maximum torque of 245 Nm. The vehicle features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear.
I did it myself last year, found the cabin air filter behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. It's located beneath the dashboard – you'll need to open that glove box first, which has securing screws or clips inside. After removing those, you'll see the filter access. The design on the BYD Song MAX isn't too difficult to operate, but be careful not to break the clips – I nearly cracked one once. The cabin air filter needs regular replacement to prevent stuffy air or odors. I recommend checking it every 10,000 km – when it's dirty, you'll notice louder blower noise too. Before DIY replacement, close all windows and doors to prevent outside dust from entering. If you're unfamiliar, there are online video tutorials – doing it yourself saves some maintenance costs, which is pretty cost-effective.
