Where is the cabin air filter located in the GAC Trumpchi GS4?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter of the GAC Trumpchi GS4 is located on the passenger side, beneath the glove compartment near the center console. The functions of the cabin air filter are: 1. Providing fresh air; 2. Absorbing harmful substances; 3. Filtering solid particles. Taking the 2021 GAC Trumpchi GS4 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4545mm, width 1856mm, height 1668mm, wheelbase 2680mm, and minimum ground clearance 190mm. The 2021 GAC Trumpchi GS4 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, maximum torque of 265Nm, and maximum power of 124kW, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving the GAC Trumpchi GS4 for several years and find the location of the cabin air filter very user-friendly—it's hidden behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. First, you need to open the glove box, then look for the plastic clips or small screws on either side or at the bottom. Gently pull them out or unscrew them to slowly remove the entire glove box. At this point, you'll see a cover panel, usually labeled 'Air Filter' or something similar. Lift the cover, and there's the filter itself. Replacing it isn't too difficult—I do it myself every six months or every 10,000 kilometers. If you don't change the filter, dust and pollen will accumulate in the car, and turning on the AC will produce unpleasant odors, which is bad for your health and comfort. A good-quality filter only costs a few dozen yuan, saving you a lot compared to going to a 4S shop. The key is to pay attention to the arrow direction on the filter—don't install it backward, or the filtration efficiency will drop. After installation, test the airflow from the AC vents. If it's too weak, replace the filter immediately.
