The cabin air filter in the Haval H2s is located behind the right glove box. Below is relevant information about cabin air filters: 1. Function of cabin air filters: They filter dust particles from the air to prevent these pollutants from entering the vehicle's evaporator and causing sludge buildup that could block the evaporator. Another function of cabin air filters is to filter dust, water vapor, pollen, carbon oxides, and sulfides from the air. Since the filter contains activated carbon, it can adsorb harmful gases and particulate matter from the air. 2. Precautions for using cabin air filters: The filter easily accumulates a lot of dust, so it's sufficient to blow away loose dust with compressed air. Do not wash it with water, as this can easily render it unusable. After prolonged use, the activated carbon filtration function in the cabin air filter will diminish, so it's recommended to replace the cabin air filter at a 4S dealership.
The cabin air filter of the Haval H2S is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to remove the glove box to access it. I've replaced it several times myself. First, press both sides of the glove compartment inward, and the entire box can be lowered. Be careful not to damage the damper rod inside - gently remove it, and you'll see a white cover plate. Open the cover to pull out the old filter. When inserting the new filter, remember to position it with the arrow facing downward - incorrect orientation affects filtration efficiency. I recommend choosing an activated carbon filter to eliminate odors. DIY replacement is extremely simple - you can buy a good filter online for 30-40 yuan, saving half the cost compared to dealership service. Most importantly, changing it every six months is better for your health.
I found that replacing the air filter in the Haval H2S is much more convenient than in most cars—it's right behind the glove box. No tools are needed for removal; just press the clips on both sides of the glove box inward with both hands, and the entire box will naturally drop down. Inside, there's a clip on the cover panel—just press it downward to open. When pulling out the filter, be careful not to bend it, and insert the new filter back in the original direction. I check it every quarter, especially before the rainy season, as the humid climate in the south can easily cause mold. If there's a musty smell from the vents or reduced airflow, it's likely the filter is clogged. This job takes a newbie just ten minutes, and there's no need to crawl under the car.
