Kaiyi C3 does not come with a cabin air filter, but it can be installed by yourself. The Kaiyi C3 adopts a similar design to the Chery E2 sedan, with dimensions of 4250mm in length, 1726mm in width, and 1510mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2510mm, positioning it as a compact car. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine across the lineup, which delivers a maximum power of 80kW and a maximum torque of 140Nm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4AT transmission.
The air filter for the Kaiyi C3 is usually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. I often drive this model and when replacing it, I first open the glove compartment, then firmly press inward on the plastic clips on both sides of the compartment or slowly pull out the entire box to reveal the filter cover. After opening the cover, the old filter might be tightly stuck, so be careful when pulling it out to avoid tearing. Compatible replacement filters can usually be purchased online or at stores. The filter plays a significant role in filtering out dust, pollen, and odors from entering the car, making the air inside fresher and reducing sneezing while driving. It's recommended to replace the filter every 10,000 kilometers or when you notice strange smells from the air conditioning. After replacement, the airflow from the AC becomes smoother, and the cabin feels less stuffy. Remember to turn off the engine and wear gloves to protect against dust during the process. It takes about ten minutes to complete, saving both hassle and money, and developing this habit is beneficial for long-term vehicle maintenance.
