The air conditioning filter is located under the hood, and its function is to filter dust particles from the air, providing clean air for the car's air conditioning system. Taking the 2020 Jinbei F50 as an example, it belongs to the MPV category, with body dimensions of 4745mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1845mm in height, a wheelbase of 2860mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and a curb weight of 1480kg. The 2020 Jinbei F50 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a leaf spring rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 118PS, a maximum power of 87kW, and a maximum torque of 154Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

















I remember the first time I helped a friend locate the air conditioning filter, it was behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. There are three steps to remove the glove box: first empty it, then locate the limit clips on both sides and press them inward to release. Some models have plastic limiters, so be careful not to break them. After removing the glove box, you'll see a rectangular plastic cover—unclip it with your fingers to access the filter. For older models like the Jinbei Haise, you might need to open the engine hood and check the air intake at the lower right corner of the windshield. When replacing it yourself, remember to set the AC to recirculation mode first to prevent dust from entering the cabin. It's recommended to change the filter every 8,000 kilometers, especially for vehicles frequently driven on construction sites.

Last time at the auto repair shop, I saw the mechanic replacing the cabin air filter, which mainly comes in three locations: the latest Jinbei Grace has it behind the glove compartment on the passenger side—be careful not to force the damper rod when removing the glove box. Early Jinbei Hiace models hide the filter under the wipers, requiring you to open the engine hood. A few cargo versions are designed behind the left-side panel of the dashboard. Before DIY, it's best to prepare a T20 screwdriver and a flashlight, as dark corners make it hard to see the clips. If you feel leaf debris on the filter frame, it's time for a replacement—this thing becomes a breeding ground for bacteria after just six months. Remember to turn off the engine first when replacing it—safety comes first.

Driving a for cargo hauling over five years, I've replaced the cabin air filter over a dozen times. In newer Jinbei models, it's typically located behind the glove box, while older versions may have it under the windshield in the engine compartment. Removing the glove box is straightforward: open it fully and press firmly on both sides to release – don't worry about breaking it. The black plastic cover you'll see houses the filter compartment, with arrow markings indicating airflow direction. Make sure to install the new filter correctly oriented. Opt for activated carbon filters to eliminate smoke odors and dust. Always replace before summer – otherwise, the AC will stink. Repair shops charge ¥50 labor, but you can DIY with a ¥30 filter.

owners should pay attention to air conditioning odor issues, as 80% of the time it's time to replace the filter. The location varies by model: for business models like Grace, it's behind the glove box; for cargo versions, it might be under the driver's seat or on the side of the center console. When disassembling, there are two butterfly clips inside the glove box—press them simultaneously to release. Remember to shake off accumulated poplar and willow catkins from the old filter, as these can reduce airflow by half. When purchasing a filter, ensure it matches the model number—the Jinbei 750 uses the DK-83 specification. It's recommended to replace the filter every spring and autumn, and especially before the rainy season to prevent moisture and mold growth.

As an auto repair enthusiast, I've studied the AC filter locations across the entire lineup. Most models place it behind the glove compartment, but pre-2014 older models have a different design, possibly near the firewall in the engine bay. Key replacement tips: First remove the glove compartment stopper clips, then gently pry open the filter cover to avoid breaking the tabs. First-timers take about 20 minutes, while experienced hands can finish in 10. Highly recommend upgrading to composite filters with PM2.5 removal function - 20 yuan more but filters exhaust particles. Northern owners must replace before winter/summer. Filters clog in 3 months during sandstorms. DIY saves 80% of service costs.
