2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Haima M5 is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. The functions of the cabin air filter are: 1. To provide fresh air inside the vehicle; 2. To absorb moisture and harmful substances from the air; 3. To maintain clean air and prevent bacterial growth, ensuring safety and hygiene; 4. To filter solid particles from the air. Taking the 2015 Haima M5 as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of: length 4698mm, width 1806mm, height 1477mm, wheelbase 2685mm, fuel tank capacity 50l, and curb weight 1325kg. The 2015 Haima M5 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 125PS, maximum power of 92kW, and maximum torque of 161Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving a Haima M5 for several years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to open the glove box first and empty its contents. There's usually a clip or small screw securing the filter cover plate—just unscrew it to access the filter slot. The design is very user-friendly, making it easy to replace yourself without spending money at a repair shop. A dirty filter accumulates dust and pollen, affecting air quality, especially in cities with heavy smoke and dust, so it's advisable to replace it every 10,000-20,000 kilometers or once a year. I often buy OEM filters and replace them myself, taking less than ten minutes and saving on labor costs. In short, this is a simple maintenance task that keeps the air from the AC fresh, greatly benefiting respiratory health.
