Haval H5's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. It can be replaced after removing the glove compartment. Below are the relevant details: 1. Body dimensions: The body dimensions of Haval H5 are 4645mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1775mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Haval H5 is positioned as a compact hardcore off-road vehicle with off-road performance at its core, featuring a more rugged and stylish design. The raised lines on the hood and the bulging waistline below the C-pillar of the body demonstrate a strong sense of power. 2. Configuration: Haval H5 comes standard with anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), brake assist (BA), traction control (TCS), electronic stability control (ESC), driver airbag, passenger airbag, and rear child seat interface.
The Haval H5's cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. I changed it myself last time - first open the glove box, then squeeze both sides towards the center with both hands to remove it. You'll then see a rectangular filter cover; press the clips to open the lid and pull out the old filter directly. When installing the new filter, pay attention to the arrow direction and insert it facing the rear of the vehicle. The whole operation takes about ten minutes, and buying a compatible filter online costs only 20-30 yuan. Don't yank the wiring harness behind the glove box; just place it gently on the ground. Remember to change the filter every six months, or more frequently in northern areas with more dust. Doing it yourself not only saves labor costs but also allows you to clean accumulated dust from the blower, which noticeably improves airflow.
Before replacing the air conditioning filter, park the car in a shaded area. There is a damping rod on each side of the glove box, which needs to be pushed inward by pinching the slots with your fingers simultaneously. Do not leave the removed glove box hanging in the air; place it on the ground with a cloth underneath. If there is dust in the filter slot, use a vacuum cleaner to remove it before installing the new filter. When selecting a filter, look for the PM2.5 filtering type. Friends in the north are advised to choose a dual-effect type with activated carbon. When reinstalling, make sure you hear a 'click' sound to ensure it is securely fastened. I have helped neighbors replace filters on three H5s, and encountered situations where the filter couldn't be inserted properly—this happens when the filter isn't slid in along the track but is forced in instead. Remember not to replace it on rainy days, as humidity can affect the lifespan of the filter paper.
