Where is the air filter of the Qashqai located?
2 Answers
The air filter of the Qashqai is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. Additional information: Function of the air filter: The air filter serves a filtration purpose, cleaning the air entering the cabin from outside, thereby improving air purity. The typical filtration targets include impurities in the air, such as tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust. The air filter prevents these substances from entering the air conditioning system, protecting the system from damage, providing a good air environment for passengers, safeguarding their health, and preventing window fogging. Cleaning tips: If the filter is dirty, clean it by blowing compressed air from the opposite side. Hold the air gun about 5 cm away from the filter and blow at a pressure of 500 kPa for approximately 2 minutes. The air filter tends to accumulate a lot of dust, and blowing compressed air can remove the loose dust.
I've been driving the Qashqai for several years and have some experience. The location of the Qashqai's cabin air filter is not hard to find—it's right behind the glove box on the passenger side. First, open the glove box and empty its contents. You'll see some plastic clips securing the bottom of the box. Gently press the clips, and the entire glove box can be removed. After removing it, look inside, and you'll find a rectangular slot near the center under the dashboard—that's where the cabin air filter resides. I've replaced it several times myself. Remember to check it every six months or after driving 10,000 kilometers. Too much dust buildup can affect cooling efficiency and may cause unpleasant odors. When replacing it, simply pull out the old filter and insert the new one, aligning the arrow direction. It's simple and cost-effective. If it's your first time, be careful not to force the clips, as breaking them would require a trip to the repair shop.
