Where is the cabin air filter located in the Dongfeng Nissan X-Trail?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Dongfeng Nissan X-Trail is located on the passenger side, beneath the glove compartment near the center console. You can see it by looking upwards from the floor. There are three clips securing the cabin air filter cover, which can be opened by pulling them outward to access the filter. Here are the situations when the cabin air filter needs replacement: 1. If the airflow from the air conditioner is significantly reduced, the cabin air filter may be clogged. First, clean the filter or replace it if necessary. 2. The cleaning frequency depends on road conditions (such as dusty roads). 3. The cabin air filter should be properly installed in its position. Using the air conditioner without the filter may degrade dustproof performance and affect air conditioning performance. 4. In cities with poor air quality, it is recommended to replace the cabin air filter twice a year.
As someone who has worked as an auto mechanic for years, I know very well the location of the air conditioning filter in the Dongfeng Nissan X-Trail. It's hidden inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove box, you'll see a plastic cover or small compartment inside. You need to pull it down firmly or remove the clips to reveal the filter housing. Changing the filter isn't too troublesome and can definitely be done yourself. It's best to check and replace it with a new one every six months to ensure fresh, odor-free air inside the car. Not replacing it for a long time may reduce the airflow and efficiency of the AC, especially in areas with poor air quality, where more frequent replacement is necessary. I recommend choosing high-quality filter accessories. Doing it yourself saves money and extends the life of your AC. Breathing smoothly while driving is also healthier for your body.
