Where is the air filter of Haima S5 located?

Haima S5's air filter is located in the engine compartment. Replace the dust filter according to the vehicle's recommended maintenance schedule. If the vehicle is frequently driven in dusty environments, it is advisable to replace the filter earlier. Below are the methods for maintaining the internal dust filter of the air filter: 1. Regularly check and clean the dust discharge holes on the centrifugal dust cover, remove dust adhering to the deflector vanes, and empty the dust collected in the dust cup (the amount of dust in the container should not exceed one-third of its capacity). During installation, ensure the sealing of the rubber gasket at the connection to prevent air leakage, as this could cause airflow short-circuiting, reducing the rotational speed of the air and significantly lowering the dust removal efficiency. 2. The dust cover and deflector should maintain their correct shape. If there is any damage, they should be promptly reshaped to prevent changes in airflow direction from the original design, which would reduce the filtering efficiency. 3. Drivers are not allowed to add oil to the dust cup (or dust collector tray). Oil can easily splash onto the dust discharge port, deflector vanes, and other parts, causing these areas to accumulate dust, which ultimately reduces the filtering and separation capability.
As an owner of the Haima S5, I know exactly where the cabin air filter is located. It's hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and you'll need to remove the entire glove box to access it. The specific steps are: first empty the glove box, then pinch the clips on both sides and push inward to detach the whole compartment. You'll find a long plastic cover plate - just unhook the two fasteners to reveal the air filter. I replaced it myself last time with a 20-yuan activated carbon filter, which works better than the original white one, but make sure to align the filter's arrow direction with the airflow indicator during installation. I recommend replacing it before every rainy season, otherwise the AC might develop a musty smell.
From a mechanic's perspective, the location of the Haima S5's cabin air filter is quite typical. First, open the glove compartment on the passenger side. Use a screwdriver to press against the stopper clip of the damper rod, allowing the glove box to fully hang down. Then, squeeze both sides of the glove box inward to remove it entirely. At this point, you'll see a rectangular cover panel behind it. Press the left and right clips to lift the cover, revealing the cabin air filter inside. Key reminder: When installing the new filter, ensure the fleecy side faces the passenger seat direction, as this directly affects filtration efficiency. If the clips become loose after three removal/installation cycles, it's recommended to spend 5 yuan to replace them with new ones.
The cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You can feel the plastic cover by reaching inside. It's especially important to clean it during seasonal changes in summer. Last time I opened it, I found it completely clogged with poplar catkins and dust - no wonder the AC airflow had weakened. The process is simple: 1. Empty the glove compartment; 2. Press the clips on the side walls of the glove compartment to lower it; 3. When removing the old filter, remember to take a photo to note the arrow direction; 4. New filters come in two types: activated carbon and standard. For humid southern regions, the carbon fiber anti-mold type is recommended. No tools are needed for the entire process, which takes just 5 minutes.
