Where is the air conditioning filter of the X-Trail located?
2 Answers
The air conditioning filter of the X-Trail is located under the glove box. The air conditioning filter is a type of filter installed in the car's air conditioning system, which can absorb dust particles, alleviate respiratory discomfort, reduce irritation for allergy sufferers, and protect the air conditioning cooling system. The X-Trail is an SUV model launched in Japan, equipped with an intelligent all-mode 4WD system. Through this system, the driver can freely choose between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes to handle various road conditions. The exterior dimensions of the X-Trail are 4675mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1722mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2706mm. The vehicle features a cannon-style dashboard and is equipped with intelligent devices such as a digital 6-disc high-fidelity theater CD AUDIO sound system, an intelligent remote key system, an intelligent voice navigation system, an ASCD cruise control system, a rearview camera, and a side-view system.
I've been driving a Nissan X-Trail for many years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, which is quite easy to find. When replacing it, I first open the glove box, locate the plastic clips on both sides, gently press and push them, and the entire glove box will flip down. This reveals the cover of the filter compartment. Remove that cover, and inside you'll find the filter itself—just pull it out and replace it with a new one. I usually replace it every six months or around 10,000 kilometers because this thing filters out dust, pollen, and even PM2.5 particles from outside, ensuring cleaner air inside the car for more comfortable breathing. Otherwise, you might notice a musty smell when the air blows. The first time I replaced it myself, I was a bit unfamiliar, but after watching an online tutorial, I found the tools weren’t complicated—a small screwdriver might be all you need. After installing a new filter, the airflow noise reduces, and the cooling efficiency improves, saving the hassle of visiting a repair shop. If you don’t replace it regularly, clogging can reduce airflow and even strain the AC system, shortening its lifespan. I recommend choosing OEM or reputable brand filters to ensure proper fit and secure installation. During seasons with poor air quality—like spring with heavy pollen or northern regions with sandstorms—replace it more frequently to prevent allergies.
