Where is the cabin air filter located in a 2010 Nissan X-Trail?

[OFrank]

The cabin air filter in the Nissan X-Trail is located on the passenger side, beneath the glove compartment near the center console. Here are relevant details: 1. To replace the cabin air filter, first remove the old filter. Before installing the new one, run the AC at maximum cooling and heating for 3 minutes each after removing the old filter. Then install the new filter with the black activated carbon side facing the driver's position - make sure not to install it backwards. Push it firmly upwards until it clicks into place. 2. The cabin air filter is installed near the AC air intake, behind the blower motor, and serves to filter incoming air quality from either inside or outside the vehicle. The engine air filter, on the other hand, refers to the engine intake system that filters incoming air for the engine. These two filters serve different purposes. Generally, engine air filters are replaced based on air quality and mileage, while cabin air filters should be replaced annually or every 20,000 kilometers.
