Where is the cabin air filter located in a Renault car?

Renault car cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Here is more information about Renault: 1. Renault Automobile Company is named after the surname of its founder Louis Renault. The logo consists of four diamonds forming a pattern, symbolizing the integration of the three Renault brothers with the automotive industry, representing Renault's ability to compete, survive, and develop in infinite (four-dimensional) space. 2. Renault is a French vehicle manufacturer producing various types of vehicles including racing cars, compact cars, mid-size cars, recreational vehicles, and large vehicles (including trucks, construction vehicles, and buses).
Last time I helped a friend replace the Renault cabin air filter, I found it's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You need to empty the glove box first, then firmly press the clips on both sides to remove it. Some models place it near the accelerator pedal, requiring you to crouch and squeeze in to access it. A reminder: always wear gloves when changing the filter, otherwise you'll get covered in years of accumulated dust. I learned this the hard way - after one replacement I was sneezing all day from the built-up pollen and poplar fluff on the filter. Recommendation is to change it every 15,000 km, or more frequently if you often drive on dirt roads.
Having replaced the air conditioning filters on three Renault models myself, I found their placement quite tricky. Most models hide them inside the passenger-side glove compartment, requiring the removal of the damper rod first. SUVs like the Kadjar have their filter slots under the glove compartment floor, making your back ache from kneeling during the operation. There are two types of filters: carbon fiber and standard. Remember, the activated carbon ones can remove odors but reduce airflow. Key reminder: during installation, the arrow must point toward the driver's seat, or the filtering efficiency is halved. Last time, I saw someone install it backward, and the car always had a dusty smell.
