Where is the cabin air filter located in the Trumpchi GS3?

The cabin air filter of the Trumpchi GS3 is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. To remove the cabin air filter, you must first take out the glove compartment. The functions of the cabin air filter are: 1. To ensure the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. To maintain clean air in the passenger compartment and prevent bacterial growth. The Trumpchi GS3 is a compact SUV produced by GAC Motor. Taking the 2021 Trumpchi GS3 Manual Sport model as an example, it is equipped with a 1.5T inline 3-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163 HP, a maximum power of 120 kW, and a maximum torque of 235 Nm.
The air filter for the Trumpchi GS3 is usually located in the footwell area of the front passenger seat or behind the glove box. I remember last time when I helped a friend find it, we had to open the glove box first, where there was a small panel or clip. After removing it, the filter housing became visible. The design of this location is quite concealed, but it's not difficult to DIY, especially for beginners. Replacing the filter can make the air from the AC cleaner, reducing dust and pollen inside the car and maintaining a comfortable driving environment. I usually recommend checking it every 10,000 kilometers or so. If the filter is too dirty, it can produce odors, affecting health. Keeping some tools handy to replace it yourself costs just a few dozen yuan, saving money and time compared to going to a repair shop. Just make sure not to operate in a dusty area and pay attention to the direction when replacing it to avoid putting it in backward. Regular maintenance of such small items makes driving much more pleasant.
