Haval H9 (1st Generation): Cabin Air Filter Replacement

The cabin air filter on the H9 is replaced every 15,000 km (about 9,300 miles) or once a year per the maintenance schedule. Replace it more often if you drive on dusty roads. It sits behind the glove box on the passenger side. A detailed step-by-step procedure for this model is not documented in publicly available service materials, so the general principle is given below. The glove box and cover fasteners on your vehicle may differ slightly.

Difficulty: Easy Time: 15-30 minutes Steps: 8 Tools: None needed, or a Phillips screwdriver and a flashlight (if the glove box is held by screws)

Part

  • 🔩 Haval H9 cabin air filter (OE or aftermarket, preferably activated carbon)

Step by step

8 steps
  1. Turn off the engine, open the front passenger door, and completely empty the glove box.
  2. Inspect the glove box. It can usually be removed without tools: squeeze the side walls to release the stops, then lower the box down. If there is a damper arm, disconnect it. If you see screws, remove them.
  3. Behind the glove box, find the rectangular plastic filter cover. It is held by clips or a latch. Release them and remove the cover.
  4. Pull out the old filter. Note the airflow direction arrow on its edge and its position in the housing.
  5. Use a vacuum or a dry rag to remove leaves and dust from the housing. Make sure debris does not fall into the air duct.
  6. Insert the new filter with the arrow oriented the same way (usually the arrow points down or toward the cabin, following the airflow). The filter must sit flat, without tilting.
  7. Close the cover until it clicks, put the glove box back in place, and reinstall the stops, damper, and screws if there were any.
  8. Turn the heater blower fan to maximum. Check that the airflow is even and that there are no unusual noises or odors.

Common mistakes and warnings

  • Do not force the filter in, and do not break the plastic glove box clips. They are brittle, especially in cold weather. If airflow is weak after replacement, check that the filter is installed according to the arrow and that the cover is seated properly.
