2011 Haval H5 does not have a cabin air filter. Here is the relevant information: 1. The 2011 Haval H5 does not come with a cabin air filter. Models produced in the second half of 2012 and later began to be equipped with air conditioning systems that include filters. The location is outside the front windshield on the passenger side, behind the engine compartment, under a plastic cover. You can access it by loosening a screw and lifting the cover. 2. A car's air conditioning system is relatively complex, and the cabin air filter can be considered the most important component of the system. Its primary function is to thoroughly filter out dust, pollen, bacteria, and other contaminants from the air, which could otherwise pollute the interior of the air conditioning system. 3. During the maintenance of the air conditioning cooling system, it is essential to thoroughly clean the cabin air filter. You can use an air hose to remove dust. If the cabin air filter cannot be effectively cleaned, it should be replaced.
I remember the cabin air filter for the 11th-gen Great Wall H5 is hidden inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. Open that small compartment and reach inside—you'll spot some plastic clips or fasteners. Gently push them out with your fingers or a small tool, and the filter housing will become visible. Changing it is really simple; I do it myself every time. I recommend checking it every six months or 10,000 km to prevent dust and mold buildup. A dirty filter can cause unpleasant odors from the AC vents and affect cabin air quality, especially in summer when it may trigger allergies. Be careful not to break the clips during the process—buying compatible filters online is cheap and convenient.
