2 Answers
Here are the steps to replace the air filter for the Teana: 1. The air filter for the Nissan Teana is located in the passenger side and needs to be accessed from there. 2. First, open the passenger door and enter the cabin to prepare for opening the glove box. 3. The air filter is located behind the glove box. 4. From below, you can see the cover of the air filter. Release the clips underneath. 5. You can then remove the cover of the air filter. Below is an introduction to the important role of the air filter: 1. Without the air filter, harmful particles can enter the cabin, not only polluting the car's air conditioning system but also reducing the performance of the cooling system. 2. Inhaling dust and harmful gases can cause allergic reactions, lung damage, irritation from ozone, and unpleasant odors, all of which can affect driving safety.
As a seasoned mechanic with ten years of experience, replacing the air filter for the Teana is quite straightforward. It's hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and usually, no tools are needed—just your hands will do. First, empty the glove compartment, then firmly press the clips on both sides to release it. Once open, you'll see the filter cover; gently pry it open to remove the old filter. When installing the new one, pay attention to the arrow direction (indicating airflow direction) and ensure proper alignment. Installing it backward will reduce efficiency and waste money. I recommend replacing it every 10,000-20,000 km or once a year to maintain fresh cabin air, prevent dust buildup that can cause allergies or odors, and especially benefit children's health. The entire DIY process takes less than ten minutes, saving on dealership labor costs while giving your hands a workout—just be gentle to avoid damaging plastic parts. After replacement, start the AC to test; smooth airflow means success!
