Naming guide: Leopard 5 / Bao 5 is associated with DENZA B5; Leopard 7 / Ti7 / Tai 7 refers to the same model entity in our guides; Leopard 8 / Bao 8 is associated with DENZA B8. Market, model year and trim can change specifications and accessory fitment. Match your vehicle and part before buying.
Quick answer: Confirm the fitted fragrance unit and cartridge compatibility first, then follow its manufacturer instructions for removal and installation. Check the vehicle manual for any menu selection or reset; automatic scent recognition is not established by this guide. Below: how to handle a part-used cartridge and store spares between changes.
Why Owners Change Scents
The current gift set contains three cartridges: Wind, Rain and Green. It is not a sampler containing all five scents. Check the product page for current pack contents, stock and price.
How to Swap Scents — Step by Step
- Pull the current cartridge straight up. The magnet releases with a soft click.
- Wipe the dock contact with a dry microfibre cloth. No liquid cleaner.
- Unseal the new scent and lower it into the slot until it clicks and won’t rotate.
- Check the vehicle controls. Follow the fitted unit’s instructions for any menu selection or reset. Do not assume that the touchscreen detects a new scent automatically.
- Set intensity for the season (level 1 in peak summer, level 2 otherwise).
That’s the whole process — under a minute. For a first-time install walkthrough, see our installation guide.
Do You Need to “Reset” Anything?
Check the instructions for the fragrance unit actually installed in your vehicle. Some controls may require a manual selection or reset; this guide does not establish automatic cartridge recognition or a universal reset procedure. For persistent faults, consult the manufacturer or a qualified service centre; our troubleshooting guide provides general checks.
What to Do With a Part-Used Cartridge
If you swap out a cartridge that still has life left:
- Keep it sealed from heat. Store it upright in a cool indoor space below 30°C — not in the car.
- Don’t store it in the cabin or glove box. A 65°C summer cabin degrades even a part-used cartridge.
- Reinstall it later when you want that scent back; a part-used genuine cartridge picks up where it left off.
Note that running multiple cartridges at once to “mix” scents isn’t recommended — the system is built for single-cartridge use, and layering different families rarely blends cleanly and shortens each cartridge’s life.
Storing Spare (Sealed) Cartridges
Sealed spares last longest in a cool, dry indoor spot:
- Below 30°C, out of direct sun. A cabinet in an air-conditioned room is ideal.
- Leave the foil seal intact until you’re ready to install — the seal protects against humidity and heat.
- Use within the shelf life. Fresh stock performs best; autosupp.com rotates stock to ship the freshest batches.
Keeping one sealed spare on hand is the easiest way to switch scents — or refill — the moment you feel like it. For planning how many to keep, see our yearly cartridge planner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I change the scent in my Leopard? A: Confirm the fitted fragrance unit and cartridge compatibility first, then follow its manufacturer instructions for removal and installation. Check the vehicle manual for any menu selection or reset; automatic scent recognition is not established by this guide.
Q: Do I need to reset the system when I change cartridges? A: Check the instructions for the fragrance unit actually installed in your vehicle. Some controls may require a manual selection or reset; this guide does not establish automatic cartridge recognition or a universal reset procedure.
Q: Can I reuse a cartridge I took out early? A: Yes, if it still has life. Store it sealed-side intact, upright, below 30°C indoors — not in the car — and reinstall it later.
Q: Can I run two scents at once to mix them? A: It’s not recommended. The system is designed for one cartridge at a time; layering different families rarely blends cleanly and shortens each cartridge’s life.
Q: How should I store spare cartridges in the UAE? A: Below 30°C, out of direct sun, foil seal intact, and never in the car — a summer cabin at 65°C degrades even sealed cartridges.
Compatibility must be checked for the exact model, year, market and installed hardware. Similar model names do not confirm identical mounting points, dimensions, charging equipment or fragrance systems. Compare the product specification and your vehicle before ordering.
