The steps to replace the cabin air filter in a 2019 Nissan X-Trail are: 1. Open the side panel of the glove box, use tools to remove the four screws of the glove box, and take off the glove box; 2. Inside, you will see a black box, which is the cabin air filter housing. Open the box, there is a hidden latch on the side, simply pry open the cover, and remove the old cabin air filter; 3. Insert the new filter, close the cover, reinstall the glove box, and then secure the side panel. The function of the cabin air filter is to filter out odors, pollen, dust, harmful gases, and various odors. The dimensions of the Nissan X-Trail are 4630mm in length, 1785mm in width, 1685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2630mm.
Replacing the air filter for the 2019 X-Trail is actually quite simple – you can DIY it in just 20 minutes. First, you need to know that the filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open the glove box and empty its contents, then press the inner linings on both sides inward to remove the entire glove box. At this point, you'll see a plastic cover with clips. Gently pry open the clips to pull out the old filter, making sure to note the direction of the arrow on the filter. Insert the new filter in the same orientation, ensuring all edges are properly seated before closing the cover. Important tip: When reinstalling the glove box, make sure the damper rod on the left side aligns with its slot, otherwise it may become loose. I replace mine every six months, or sooner if I notice any unusual noises from the blower – after all, a dirty AC system can breed bacteria and cause respiratory issues. Keeping up with regular AC system maintenance makes the cooling noticeably more effective in summer.
