Haval H3's cabin air filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. You can see it after removing the glove box. Below are the steps to replace the cabin air filter for Haval H3: 1.

I've driven a Haval H3 for several years, and the cabin air filter location is super easy to find—it's right behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. You need to open the glove box; don't yank it hard, just gently press the clips on both sides to let the glove box drop down, and you'll see a small compartment inside where the cabin air filter box is tucked. Changing it yourself is very simple. Before buying a new filter, remember to measure the size—a universal model will do. I usually replace it every six months, especially during spring and autumn, as driving on smoggy days feels much fresher inside the car. When replacing it, wear gloves to avoid cuts, and don't mess with the wiring under the glove box. If you notice odd smells while driving, check it immediately—it's not worth risking your health.
As a driver who frequently takes long trips, I find it super convenient to have the cabin air filter located behind the glove compartment - it's immediately accessible when opened. Getting the location right is key, but more importantly, it's about regular replacement. I've seen too many Haval H3 owners neglect changing it, resulting in excessive dust affecting cabin air quality. During foggy days or pollen seasons, installing a fresh filter genuinely reduces sneezing and greatly benefits respiratory health. DIY replacement takes just minutes - just make sure not to buy the wrong filter model. Make it a habit to check quarterly - it saves money and hassle while contributing to driving safety. Don't wait for malfunctions to replace it. Remembering its hiding spot isn't hard - a quick check reveals everything.
