2 Answers
Method for replacing the air conditioning filter in the new Qashqai: 1. Open the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. The filter cover is connected with a gray sealing sponge, and there is a handle in the middle for easy removal. Pull the handle by hand, remove the cover, and then pull out the air conditioning filter. 2. Install the new filter. Bend the filter towards the front of the car. Once fully inserted, pull the filter back and forth a few times to ensure it is completely in place. Finally, replace the cover. The dimensions of the new Qashqai are 4401 mm in length, 1837 mm in width, and 1593 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2646 mm. The new Qashqai features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
As an experienced DIY car enthusiast, I'm quite familiar with replacing the air conditioning filter in the new Qashqai. The process is straightforward: First, go to the passenger side and open the glove compartment – the design is user-friendly with no screws at the bottom, simply press the damping clips on both sides inward to remove it. You'll see the filter housing at the back, gently open the cover, note the arrow direction of the old filter (usually pointing downward), pull it out and replace it with a new one, ensuring it's inserted correctly without reversing. I recommend changing it every 15,000 kilometers or so, especially during spring when pollen levels are high, to keep the cabin air fresh and comfortable. Don't skimp on the filter; opt for an activated carbon one that absorbs odors and filters dust. No tools are needed, and it takes about ten minutes, but make sure the clips are properly secured when reassembling to prevent loosening from bumps. DIY maintenance saves both hassle and money in the long run.
