Where is the cabin air filter of Haima M3 located?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter of Haima M3 is located behind the glove compartment in the passenger side. Remove the glove compartment, and you will see a cover plate behind it. After removing the cover plate, the cabin air filter can be accessed. A high-quality cabin air filter can absorb dust particles, reduce respiratory discomfort, minimize irritation for allergy sufferers, enhance driving comfort, and protect the air conditioning cooling system. The Haima M3 is an A-segment sedan produced by Haima Automobile. It is equipped with a 1.5L engine, delivering a maximum power of 82kW at 6000rpm and a maximum torque of 147Nm at 4000rpm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I used to own a Haima M3, and the cabin air filter is usually hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You need to open the glove box, empty its contents, then locate the clips on both sides of the glove box. Gently press them to completely remove it. Next, you'll see a small plastic cover. Unscrew the screws or push open the clips to remove the old filter and insert the new one. Remember, the new filter has an arrow mark indicating the direction towards the interior of the driver's seat to avoid installing it backward. I change it every six months myself because when the filter accumulates dust, it starts to smell, affecting the air quality inside the car, especially on smoggy days or in sandy areas. After changing it, breathing becomes much more comfortable. A simple operation can save you the trouble of going to a repair shop, but if you're a beginner, I recommend watching a video first to familiarize yourself with the process and ensure you don't damage any parts. Regularly changing the filter can also extend the life of your air conditioning system, making driving more reassuring.
