2 Answers
Nissan Kicks cabin air filter is located under the glove box. Below are the functions of the cabin air filter: 1. It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. 3. It absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, with strong and long-lasting moisture absorption. 4. It prevents car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and safe driving; it provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety; it effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. 5. It maintains clean air in the cabin, preventing bacterial growth and creating a healthy environment; it effectively separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air; it efficiently blocks pollen, ensuring no allergic reactions affect driving safety.
I remember when I was looking for the cabin air filter location on my Nissan Kicks, I found it was a bit hidden, right behind the glove box. You'll need to open the glove box first, check if there are any clips or dampers at the bottom, carefully remove them, and then you'll see a square filter cover. Unscrew the screws or pull open the cover, and the filter is right inside, ready to be taken out and replaced. I recommend replacing it every 15,000 kilometers or so, especially for friends in northern regions where there's more wind and sand, as the filter can easily get clogged, affecting the AC performance. Not only does the air freshness decrease, but there might also be odors. Doing it yourself is actually quite simple—just prepare a new filter and follow the instructions step by step, making sure not to install it backward. This saves you the hassle and cost of going to the dealership. If you're not confident, search for a tutorial video online first to get a better grasp. Regularly cleaning the AC system improves cabin air quality and makes long drives much more comfortable.
