How to Replace the Air Conditioning Filter in the Vezel?

Method for replacing the air conditioning filter in the Vezel: 1. There is a clip next to the left side panel of the glove box; first, pull the clip upward to remove it. 2. Push the side panels of the glove box inward to release the upper clips, allowing the glove box to be partially removed, revealing the air conditioning filter cover. 3. Push the clips on both sides of the air conditioning filter cover inward to remove the cover, then take out and replace the air conditioning filter. The Vezel is the first SUV under GAC Honda, developed on Honda's new vehicle platform. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4294mm in length, 1772mm in width, and 1605mm in height.

Speaking of changing the air filter for the Vezel, I've done it several times myself. First, locate the glove compartment on the passenger side, open it, and simultaneously press the clips on both sides of the glove compartment with both hands. You'll hear a click, and the entire glove compartment can be lowered. The exposed part is the filter cover. Lift the plastic cover, and remember that the filter usually has an arrow indicating the airflow direction. Pull the old filter out along the track, and insert the new filter with the arrow facing the same direction as before. Be careful not to bend the filter or install it backward during the process, as this can affect the airflow. Finally, press the cover firmly into place, align the clips on both sides of the glove compartment with the track, and push them back into position. The whole process takes about ten minutes, but be careful not to force the clips too hard, as the plastic parts are quite fragile.

Last time I helped my neighbor replace the air filter for their Vezel, the key was the glove compartment removal technique. Without any tools, after opening the glove box, use your index finger and thumb to pinch the protruding damping blocks on both sides, and with a gentle press, the entire hook releases and lowers. The filter is hidden behind a cover—just flip open the plastic lid to access it. When removing the old filter, remember it has a front and back side, usually indicated by an 'air flow' arrow on the label. Make sure to buy the correct model for the new filter, as sizes are generally universal across Honda models. After reinstalling, don’t forget to clean up any fallen dust, and check the filter slot for debris like leaves. Avoid smoking during the process, as dust can easily become airborne. Finally, test the AC—if the airflow sounds smooth, you’re all set.

The Vezel's cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Removing the glove box is simple: open it and simultaneously press the two white clips on both sides, then the entire panel will hang down. Lift the rectangular filter cover, and when replacing the old filter with a new one, pay attention to the triangular arrow indicator on the edge of the filter—it must be installed in the fixed direction. Avoid getting the new filter wet, as moisture can deform the fiber layer and affect filtration efficiency. The most challenging part of the process is reinstalling the glove box; you need to align the sliders on both sides with the tracks and gently push it back in. It's recommended to perform this maintenance before seasonal changes in spring and autumn, and take the opportunity to clean the air vents to reduce musty odors. Just buy an activated carbon filter online for about 30-40 yuan, which is sufficient for half a year.

Prepare a Phillips screwdriver and a new filter. The air conditioning filter for the Vezel is located inside the glove box, requiring the entire glove box to be removed. Press the release tabs on both sides, then use the screwdriver to loosen the fixing screw on the right connecting rod. After removing the entire glove box, you will see the filter slot; lift the cover to pull out the old filter. Ensure the new filter matches the old one in size exactly, and avoid using filters with severe creases. During installation, make sure the arrow on the side of the filter faces downward, then reassemble the glove box and tighten the screw. Wear disposable gloves before starting to avoid getting dust on your hands. It's recommended to wait 15 minutes after parking before beginning, as the air ducts can retain residual heat and feel stuffy right after turning off the engine. Finally, test all air conditioning fan speeds to ensure everything is working properly.

Remember to purchase the correct matching filter model first. The key to replacing the filter is not to get the direction wrong: take a photo of the arrow position when removing the old filter (usually pointing towards the seat direction). Do not force the new filter in place to avoid deformation. The tricky part is positioning the glove box track—first slide the left groove into the metal rod's notch, then press the right side for easier handling. If the filter cover doesn't seal tightly, it might be due to lint stuck on the edges. If the clips break, don't force it; a hook accessory from a hardware store for five yuan can fix it. After doing it once, you'll get the hang of it. Cleaning leaves and debris from the blower fan can also improve cooling efficiency.
