2 Answers
The cabin air filter of the Dongfeng Nissan Qashqai is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. The owner needs to remove the decorative panel, starting from the top down for easier access. After removing the cover, the cabin air filter can be pulled out. The cabin air filter serves a filtration function, purifying the air entering the cabin from the outside, thereby improving air cleanliness. The Dongfeng Nissan Qashqai is a vehicle under the Dongfeng Nissan brand, positioned between a compact SUV and a hatchback. Its exterior adopts Nissan's new VMotion design language, featuring a new-style 'V' grille on the front face with chrome accents. It comes equipped with a new-style steering wheel and a 9-inch high-definition capacitive touchscreen, along with the NissanConnect system, providing smart voice control, 24/7 entertainment, full-time in-car navigation, remote real-time monitoring, and other connected technologies.
The cabin air filter of the Qashqai is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, which is a reasonably designed location that allows for DIY replacement. Open the glove compartment and you'll see clips on both sides - press them firmly to remove it, then you'll find a cover panel inside. Unclip the cover panel's fasteners, and the cabin air filter is hidden inside. Pay attention to the arrow direction when removing it, and make sure to align the new filter correctly when reinstalling, otherwise it will affect the filtration efficiency. I typically replace it twice a year - once before summer and once before winter - this way the air from the AC stays odor-free. It's recommended to wear gloves during replacement to avoid getting dust on your fingers. When purchasing a new filter, remember to choose the specific model designed for Qashqai, as incorrect sizing may cause air leakage.
