Where is the Honda Air Filter Located?

Honda air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Here are detailed instructions about the air filter: 1. How often to replace the car filter depends on usage. Generally, for urban family cars, it should be replaced every six months or once a year. 2. If you usually drive on roads with more dust, more dust will enter the air conditioning system, requiring earlier replacement. 3. The air filter is prone to accumulating a lot of dust, and floating dust can be removed with compressed air. 4. The activated carbon filtration function in the air filter will diminish after a period of use, at which point it is necessary to go to a 4S store to replace the air filter.
I've changed the air conditioning filter in my Honda several times, and its location is actually right behind the glove box, which is quite easy to find. You just need to open the passenger side glove box, where there's usually a small clip or screw holding it in place. Once you unscrew or unclip it, you'll see the filter housing. It's not difficult to replace; I did it myself in just 10 minutes using only a small screwdriver or even just my fingers to pry it open. This filter is quite important, especially during pollen season or in dusty areas. If not replaced, the air inside the car can become stuffy and develop odors. I recommend replacing it every 10,000 kilometers or once a year to prevent allergies or bacterial growth. If you can't find it the first time, you can search for tutorial videos online, as Honda models are designed similarly.
I've been driving a Honda for almost five years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove box. Just give it a try. Open the glove box, empty it, and carefully inspect the interior. There's a removable cover either at the top or bottom—once you take it off, the filter will be exposed. Be careful not to break the plastic clips when replacing it; it's a pretty simple DIY job. Remember, the filter is for trapping dust and odors, and in cities with heavy air pollution, it's recommended to check it every six months. Doing it yourself saves money compared to going to a repair shop—I can get it done with a new filter costing just 20 yuan. If you can't find it, check the car's manual or app instructions; most Honda models have the same layout.
