Where is the cabin air filter of the Haval F7 located?
2 Answers
Haval F7's cabin air filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, you need to remove the glove box first, then you'll see the cover plate of the cabin air filter. After removing the cover plate, you can replace the cabin air filter. The function of the cabin air filter is to filter the air entering the cabin from outside, improving air cleanliness and providing a good air environment for passengers, protecting their health. Taking the 2021 Haval F7 2WD i-Fan as an example, it is a compact SUV under Great Wall Motors, equipped with a 2.0T engine matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. In terms of suspension system, the front suspension is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is double-wishbone independent suspension.
I've been driving my own Haval F7 for over a year now, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. It's not easily noticeable in daily use – you have to first unhook the fasteners above, then remove the entire glove box to reveal a rectangular cover. Opening this cover allows you to pull out the old filter and replace it with a new one. I remember spending quite some time fumbling around during my first attempt to locate it, only to realize its position is actually quite reasonable – the design intentionally keeps it away from engine heat. Don't underestimate this seemingly insignificant component. If left unchanged, the cabin accumulates dust, and you'll notice unpleasant odors when using the AC, especially during pollen season when even opening windows feels uncomfortable. That's why I make it a habit to replace it every six months or 10,000 kilometers. After replacement, the air becomes noticeably fresher, which really improves the driving mood.
