Haima M5's air conditioning filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. Here is some relevant information about the air conditioning filter: 1. Replacement: To replace the air conditioning filter, first locate the filter's slot. Open the clip located at the front of the passenger side in the engine compartment, then remove the sound insulation material inside. The clip is very fragile, so be careful when opening it to avoid damage. After removing the filter, reach into the panel to take out the air conditioning filter. There is an arrow indicator on the outer side of the filter; make sure not to install it backward. 2. Function: The air conditioning filter plays a crucial role in the cooling function of the air conditioning system. It filters the air entering the cabin from the outside, improving air cleanliness. It also filters out tiny impurities, pollen, dust, etc., providing a good air environment for passengers and protecting their health.

As a seasoned driver who has owned a Haima M5 for many years, I remember the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. The replacement steps are quite simple: First, empty the glove compartment, then open it to locate the clips or small switches on both sides. Gently press them down to remove the glove compartment tray, and you'll see the filter slot, which resembles a pull-out box. I check it every 10,000 kilometers to prevent dust buildup from affecting the AC performance and to avoid odor formation. The design is quite user-friendly, requiring no tools for the operation. However, it's advisable to turn off the AC when replacing the filter to prevent the fan from blowing dust inside. Developing a habit of regular maintenance ensures smoother operation of the AC system and a much more comfortable driving experience.

As a novice car owner who recently purchased a Haima M5, I was initially confused when trying to locate the cabin air filter for the first time. Later, I learned it's actually located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. I remember spending time going through the manual—the steps involve first pulling out the glove box drawer, then finding the retaining clips at the back. Apply some pressure to release them, and you can remove the compartment to reveal the filter slot. During the actual operation, be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the plastic parts. The location is fairly well-hidden but not too difficult to find. I recommend checking the filter's condition monthly and replacing it if it appears dirty. This helps maintain fresh air inside the car, especially useful during long drives. Through this experience, I've learned the importance of regular maintenance and will never overlook these small upkeep tasks again.

How to Remove Ice from the Windshield?

Here are specific methods to remove ice from the windshield: 1. Physical De-icing: Prepare a dedicated glass ice scraper, which is more convenient, faster, and keeps your hands from freezing. 2. Use a Spray De-icer: A high-speed anti-ice spray concentrate specifically designed to thaw frozen windows and wipers, which does not damage the car's surface and prevents re-frosting. 3. Maintain Consistent Temperature Inside and Outside the Car: After using the car, open the doors to ventilate. Wait until the interior temperature drops to match the outside temperature, then turn on the power and use the wipers to clear any remaining snow or water from the windshield.

Can a car be stolen if the car key is lost?

If the car key is lost, the car can potentially be stolen. The specific details are as follows: If you promptly visit a 4S shop to get a new key, the lost key will immediately become invalid and cannot start the vehicle. However, it can still unlock the car door using the mechanical key. This means the car itself won't be stolen, but items inside the car might be taken. Therefore, the safest method is to replace the entire car lock. Here are some solutions for a lost car key: 1. Use the spare key: Generally, cars come with two keys—one for regular use and the other as a spare. If the main key is lost, the spare key can be used. You can either go back home to get it or ask a family member to bring it. Remember, never leave the spare key inside the car; always keep it in a safe place at home. Otherwise, if the main key is lost and the spare key is still inside the car, you'll have to call a locksmith. 2. Contact a professional locksmith: If the car is far from the spare key or the spare key is also missing, you'll need to hire a professional locksmith. Usually, you'll need to provide proof that the car belongs to you, such as your ID card or vehicle registration certificate. 3. Visit a 4S shop: Every car comes with an anti-theft code. By providing the vehicle registration certificate and personal identification to the 4S shop, they can retrieve the anti-theft code and configure a new key. Additionally, they can erase the data of the lost key, rendering it invalid for starting the car (though it can still unlock the door). Hence, the 4S shop may also recommend replacing the entire car lock for enhanced security.

What is the optimal mileage for breaking in a new car?

New cars should undergo their first maintenance at 5,000 kilometers or within 6 months. Here are precautions for the break-in period of a new car: 1. Avoid starting without warming up the engine. It's best to allow a warm-up period after starting a new car to let the lubricating oil circulate and provide adequate lubrication. 2. Do not drive at high speeds. During the break-in period, it's recommended to keep the speed below 80 km/h, preferably not exceeding 100 km/h, and the engine RPM below 3,000. 3. Avoid overloading. Running at full capacity can damage mechanical components. It's best not to exceed 80% of the maximum load capacity. 4. Avoid long-distance driving. 5. Do not perform emergency braking. Emergency braking can impact the not-yet-fully-broken-in braking system and may also affect the chassis and engine. 6. Do not change the lubricating oil too early. The factory-installed lubricating oil in new cars is specifically designed for the break-in period and contains components suitable for this phase.
