Where is the cabin air filter located in the Kadjar?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Kadjar is located on the side near the center console on the front passenger side. The cabin air filter, commonly known as the pollen filter, is used to filter the air entering the cabin from the outside, improving air cleanliness. It typically filters impurities in the air, such as tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust. The Kadjar is a compact SUV launched by Dongfeng Renault, with dimensions of 4508mm in length, 1836mm in width, and 1610mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2645mm. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine or a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with maximum power outputs of 86kw and 110kw respectively, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 7 gears) or a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving my Renault Kadjar for several years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat, which is quite easy to find. First, you need to press open or unscrew the small screws on the left and right clips of the glove compartment. Once the glove compartment is removed, you'll see a small rectangular cover. Open it, and the filter is right inside. Replacing it yourself is super simple and doesn't require any tools—just remember not to pull too hard to avoid damaging the plastic parts. The filter traps dust and pollen. If you don't replace it, the air conditioning might blow weaker air or produce strange odors, affecting both health and comfort inside the car. I usually replace it once a year or after driving 20,000 kilometers. Opt for better brands like Bosch or Mann filters for longer-lasting performance. Before starting, turn off the air conditioning, and after replacement, make sure to secure the glove compartment tightly to prevent any rattling noises.
