Where is the cabin air filter located in the Honda Vezel?

The location of the cabin air filter in the Honda Vezel: 1. Enter the vehicle and locate the glove box. There is a clip next to the left side panel of the glove box; pull the clip upward to remove it. 2. Push the side panels of the glove box inward to release the upper clips, allowing you to partially remove the glove box. At this point, you can see the cabin air filter cover. Below is some information about the cabin air filter: (1) The cabin air filter primarily filters the air entering the cabin from the outside, improving air cleanliness. (2) The typical filtering targets include impurities in the air, such as tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust. (3) The purpose of the cabin air filter is to prevent these substances from entering the air conditioning system, thereby protecting the system, providing a good air environment for passengers, safeguarding their health, and preventing windshield fogging.

Last time I changed the air filter for my Vezel myself, I found it right behind the glove box. You need to first open the passenger side glove box, empty its contents, then press both sides inward with your hands to release the retaining clips, which will make the entire glove box hang down. Be careful not to yank the damper rod inside; gently disconnect the joint. Reach inside and you'll see a plastic cover with a small clip—just pry it open with your fingernail. The filter is rectangular, so make sure not to install it backward; remember the arrow should point downward. The most accurate way to check the filter model is to refer to the owner's manual. It takes just five minutes to do it yourself, saving you 200 bucks compared to going to the 4S shop.

Replacing the air filter for the Vezel requires both courage and meticulousness. Press the glove box stopper vertically with force until you hear a click to fully lower it. The filter housing is located at the corner of the air duct, and the cover clips are particularly fragile—avoid using a screwdriver to pry them. Once, I used a regular filter that turned sour within three months; now I always buy activated carbon ones. Though they cost 40 yuan more, they can filter PM2.5. Remember to turn off the AC before operating, or the blower will scatter filter debris everywhere. If there's a gap when reinstalling the cover, chances are the filter isn't seated flat.

The filter is located on the inner side of the glove compartment on the passenger side. Removal involves three steps: empty the glove compartment → simultaneously press both sides to release the clips → support the compartment and lower it slowly. Key points to note: when the glove compartment is lowered to 60 degrees, there is a white damping rod on the left side; pinch the clip head and rotate it 90 degrees to detach. The filter compartment is in the upper left corner, with a rectangular plastic cover marked 'UP' to prevent incorrect installation. It is recommended to replace the filter every 15,000 kilometers, and changing it before the rainy season can prevent moldy odors. DIY replacement costs 35 yuan, while a 4S shop charges 280 yuan including labor.

Just changed the air filter for my sister's Honda Vezel. Six tips for beginners: 1. Press the grooves on the inner wall after opening the glove box. 2. Pinch the buffer rod buckle and pull it to the right. 3. Look for the gray cover labeled 'air filter'. 4. Push the fan-shaped buckle toward the rear of the car. 5. Don't shake the old filter with leaves and insect remains inside the car. 6. Squeeze the new filter's vertical ribs tightly before installation to avoid deformation. If the glove box gets stuck during the process, don't force it; you can also remove the screws at the bottom of the glove box by opening the hood. It's recommended to wear a mask due to heavy dust.

After three replacements of the Vezel's cabin air filter, I've summarized some tips: Press the clips vertically, pulling parallel will only break them. The filter compartment is tricky to access, taking a phone photo before operating saves effort. Genuine filters come with foam sealing strips on the edges, while aftermarket ones often leak air. There have been cases of AC noise caused by reverse filter installation, always confirm the arrow points toward the footwell. There's actually a hidden location - some cars have it behind the right dashboard panel, but the Vezel always places it behind the glove box. The Mann CUK24003 model fits perfectly, and stocking up during Double 11 sales is most cost-effective.
