The cabin air filter of the Trumpchi GS7 is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Functions of the cabin air filter: 1. It can separate solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air; 2. It can absorb moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2 in the air; 3. It has strong and long-lasting moisture absorption capacity. The Trumpchi GS7 is a five-seat mid-size SUV under GAC Trumpchi, with a body length of 4730mm, width of 1910mm, height of 1700mm, and a wheelbase of 2720mm. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 210 kW, maximum power speed of 5200 rpm, maximum torque of 320 Nm, and maximum torque speed ranging from 1750 to 4000 rpm.

The air filter for the Trumpchi GS7 is hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. It took me some effort to find it the first time too. First, open the glove box and press it downward to release the clips on both sides, then you'll see a rectangular cover. Gently pry the cover from the right side with your fingers to remove it, and you'll find the filter diagonally inserted in the plastic frame. Remember to install the new filter with the arrow facing downward—installing it the wrong way reduces filtration efficiency. The design of this location is quite reasonable, allowing you to replace it yourself without dismantling the dashboard. Last time, I bought a filter online for just over ten yuan, saving half the cost compared to going to a 4S shop. By the way, it's best to replace the filter before the rainy season, otherwise, the AC can easily develop a musty smell.

I've changed the air filter four times in three years on my GS7. The filter is located inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. The operation is extremely simple: fully open the glove box and press down firmly until you hear a click, which means the side limiters have disengaged. Then, look down to see a plastic cover with clips – gently pull it toward you to remove the entire filter bracket. Remember to buy an activated carbon composite filter for better performance. For northern car owners, it's recommended to check every 5,000 kilometers, as filters in dusty areas can easily clog and affect airflow. The whole process takes just five minutes, saving more time than visiting a repair shop.

Just helped my neighbor replace the air filter for his GS7, located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. No tools are needed for this operation, it can be done by hand: First, empty the glove compartment, press down firmly on both sides with your hands until it's fully depressed, revealing the plastic cover panel at the back. Note there's a small clip at the upper right corner of the panel—just pry it off with your fingernail. When removing the old filter, pay attention to the directional mark; install the new filter with the pleats perpendicular to the ground. This position is scientifically designed for the ventilation path, effectively filtering out pollen and dust from outside. It's recommended to check the filter's condition every quarter—replace it if it turns black or hardens.

Does exceeding the time limit by more than ten seconds count as fatigued driving?

No, generally, exceeding the time limit by less than 10 minutes does not count as fatigued driving. Here is some extended information about fatigued driving: 1. Fatigued driving: If a driver continuously operates a vehicle for 4 hours without rest, only switching cards without changing the driver, this behavior is considered fatigued driving. This behavior is highly prone to traffic accidents because driving requires a high level of concentration. Fatigued driving can lead to delayed reactions, drowsiness, and physical weakness, making it difficult to promptly detect road conditions and take accurate driving control measures. 2. Non-fatigued driving: If there are two drivers in the vehicle's cabin, and they switch cards and change drivers for more than 20 minutes within 4 hours of driving, then it does not count as fatigued driving.

Can a Lighter Dropped in a Car Cause Spontaneous Combustion?

In summer, if a lighter is left in the car and the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it can easily explode and cause the vehicle to catch fire spontaneously. Below is a detailed introduction to items that should not be left in the car during high summer temperatures: 1. Flammable and Explosive Items: Never store items like lighters, fireworks, or firecrackers in the trunk. If the car's temperature gets too high or comes into contact with an ignition source, the consequences can be severe. If caught by traffic police, you may also face fines and demerit points. 2. Perfume: Perfume is chemically processed under specific conditions. In high temperatures, these chemicals can easily volatilize and even harm the human body. Additionally, direct sunlight can cause the perfume to explode. 3. Reading Glasses: Reading glasses are convex lenses that can focus light rays. Prolonged focusing of light can cause the focal point to overheat, potentially damaging the car's plastic interior panels or even leading to spontaneous combustion of the vehicle.

Why Can't the Handbrake Be Released When Pulled Too Tight?

The reason is that the handbrake is stuck at the top by the rack. You need to press the handbrake switch, pull it up slightly with force, and then release it downward. Here are some precautions for using the car handbrake: 1. Do not pull the handbrake too high: When using the handbrake, pull it to about 70% of its height. The braking effect is the same whether it is fully pulled or at 70%. Moreover, pulling the handbrake to its limit for a long time will reduce the recovery ability of the handbrake cable and shorten its lifespan. 2. Pull the handbrake gently: When pulling the handbrake, do it slowly. Avoid yanking it forcefully, as this can easily cause damage. 3. Do not use the handbrake as a substitute for the foot brake: At high speeds, using the handbrake instead of the foot brake can cause the wheels to lock, leading to skidding, and the handbrake cable might even snap.

Should You Worry About Minor Scratches on a New Car?

No need to worry, it's quite normal for beginners to have minor scratches while driving. Just be cautious while driving. Here are some precautions for novice drivers: 1. Speed: As long as you're not on the highway, you can maintain a steady speed of around 60 km/h, which helps with control. 2. Observe the rearview mirrors: The rearview mirrors allow you to monitor the road conditions on both sides and behind the vehicle, especially when changing lanes, reversing, or overtaking. Their role is crucial. 3. Maintain a safe distance: Following too closely can be dangerous if the car in front brakes suddenly or cuts in. Sometimes, excessive tension may cause you to turn the steering wheel too sharply, leading to an accident. Therefore, keeping a safe distance from the car ahead is essential. If a car cuts in, slow down appropriately to yield. 4. Proper use of lights: Do not turn on the hazard lights randomly. Turn on the parking lights at dusk, and fog lights should only be used in foggy conditions with poor visibility.

Does the throttle need cleaning?

The throttle needs cleaning. The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. Since the air contains dust and sand particles, impurities are left on the throttle surface as air passes through. Combined with the oil vapor from the crankcase, this forms a black, greasy deposit layer. A dirty throttle can cause inflexible movement of the throttle valve, allowing impurities to enter the engine and affecting normal gasoline combustion. The throttle should be cleaned every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. If the driving environment is harsh, the cleaning interval should be shorter. However, excessive cleaning can lead to premature throttle failure, as frequent cleaning gradually removes the special coating inside the throttle chamber, making it more prone to grease buildup and creating a vicious cycle, ultimately resulting in the throttle's failure.
