The cabin air filter in the Haval H3 is located on the inner side of the glove compartment. The cabin air filter is a component installed in the vehicle's air conditioning system that absorbs dust particles, alleviates respiratory discomfort, reduces irritation for allergy sufferers, and protects the air conditioning cooling system. The Haval H3 is a compact SUV under the Haval brand, with dimensions of 4620mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1810mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of powertrain, the Haval H3 is equipped with four engine options: a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine, a 2.5L turbocharged engine, and a 2.8L turbocharged engine.
Last time I replaced the air conditioning filter on my Haval H3 myself, I realized it's located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. To access it, you first need to empty the glove box, then unscrew the two screws at the bottom, which allows the glove box to drop down. Inside, there's a plastic cover that you can lift to remove and replace the filter. Make sure the arrow on the filter is pointing downward when installing it, otherwise the airflow won't be strong enough. It's important to change the filter every six months because it traps dust and bacteria inside the car, preventing air conditioning odors and benefiting respiratory health. I often drive long distances, and after replacing it, the air feels much fresher, saving me the cost of maintenance at the 4S shop.
The air conditioning filter of the Haval H3 is installed inside the glove compartment on the passenger side, near the lower part of the dashboard. When replacing it, it's best to ensure the car is turned off. First, remove the items from the glove compartment, loosen the fixing screws to detach the glove compartment, and then you can see the filter cover. If it's clogged, the air conditioning airflow will decrease, dust will accumulate in the car, and it can easily cause allergic reactions. With years of driving experience, I recommend checking it every 5,000 kilometers, especially during the rainy season when bacteria are more prevalent. The design of its location is quite convenient for DIY, just make sure not to install the filter upside down. Spending a little money to replace it can help maintain the air quality inside the car.
