Where is the cabin air filter located in the Haval H5?
2 Answers
Haval H5's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side, beneath a plastic cover. Simply loosen a screw and lift the cover to access it. The cabin air filter functions to filter out dust and impurities from the air, ensuring proper engine operation while preventing bacterial growth in the air intake system. The Haval H5 is a compact SUV produced by Haval Motors, with body dimensions measuring 4645mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1775mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of safety features, this vehicle comes standard with Bosch 9th-generation ESP, tire pressure monitoring, BA brake assist, front pre-tensioned seat belts, and rear three-point seat belts.
As a long-time owner of the Haval H5, I can tell you the cabin air filter is conveniently located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side - very easy to access. After opening the glove box, you'll find a small cover panel that can be removed by gently pressing the clips on both sides. The filter slot is right inside. DIY replacement is quite straightforward, just make sure not to install the filter backwards - the arrow direction should align with the airflow. I recommend replacing it every six months or 10,000 kilometers. In dusty seasons or heavily polluted cities, increase the replacement frequency. A clogged filter will reduce AC airflow, produce musty air that causes coughing, and create unpleasant odors. Doing it yourself saves dozens in maintenance fees (dealerships charge over 100 yuan) and avoids waiting lines. The location design achieves two goals: 1) space efficiency 2) user-friendly maintenance without engine compartment hassle. Regularly clean the glove box interior to prevent debris accumulation affecting filter performance. Overall, this reflects Haval's thoughtful design approach.
