Where is the cabin air filter located in the Haval M6?

The cabin air filter in the Haval M6 is located behind the glove compartment on the front passenger side. The cabin air filter used in vehicles is a consumable item, and after a period of use, it will show signs of aging. Generally, the cabin air filter needs to be replaced every 10,000 kilometers, but the replacement interval also depends on the environment in which the vehicle is used. The Haval M6 is a compact SUV under the Haval brand, with dimensions of 4649mm in length, 1830mm in width, and 1705mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2680mm. The Haval M6 features a new design language, including a star-dotted front grille, integrated projector headlights for high and low beams, a floating roof design with unique boomerang-shaped chrome strips, a roof rack, and dragon-wing side body lines, creating a sleek overall body profile that enhances a strong sense of technology and sportiness.
I previously replaced the air conditioning filter in my Haval M6, which is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, you need to open the glove compartment, then press and hold the plastic clips on both sides of the compartment and pull outward to completely lower the entire glove compartment. At this point, you can see a long rectangular cover inside. Open the clips of the cover to reveal the filter slot. Remember to take a photo of the arrow direction with your phone when removing the old filter, and make sure to insert the new filter in the same direction. Installing it backward will affect the filtration efficiency. DIY replacement is very convenient—buying a filter costs just 20 yuan, while the labor fee at a 4S shop would be 80 yuan. It’s recommended to replace it twice a year, especially before using the air conditioner in summer, to prevent moldy odors and bacterial growth.
I'm used to replacing the cabin air filter myself every six months. On the Haval M6, it's located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. You need to pinch the limit clips on both sides of the glove box, gently press them toward the center, and the entire compartment will drop down. Then locate the plastic cover inside, lift it open, and pull out the old filter. When selecting a new filter, pay attention to the thickness - one that's too thick may jam the cover plate. Once I got lazy and didn't change it for two years, resulting in the AC airflow being reduced by half and emitting a musty, earthy smell. I recommend replacing it during the sandy spring/autumn seasons in northern regions, or before the rainy season in southern areas. This keeps the car's air much fresher and is better for children's and elderly's respiratory health.
Last time I changed the air filter myself, it was quite simple—it's located behind the glove box. Just open the passenger-side glove compartment, firmly push inward on both plastic tabs, and the box will fully drop down. The rectangular slot cover at the back can be pried open to access the filter. Wear a mask when pulling it out, as there’s a lot of dust. Buying the same model online took just 10 minutes and saved me 50 bucks compared to a repair shop. Remember to install the filter according to the arrow direction—don’t put it in backward.
