Where is the cabin air filter located in the Nissan Sunny?
2 Answers
Nissan Sunny cabin air filter is located in the front passenger side, equivalent to the position of the left toes. There is a white hard plastic strip - grab the first lower end and pull downward to the right to remove it. After removal, you can see the air conditioning filter. The conditions for replacing the cabin air filter are as follows: 1. If the air flow from the air conditioner is significantly reduced, the cabin air filter may be clogged. Clean it first or replace the filter if necessary. 2. Cleaning frequency depends on road conditions. For dusty roads, etc., early cleaning is recommended. 3. The air conditioning filter must be properly installed. Using the air conditioner after removing the filter box may reduce dustproof performance and affect air conditioning performance. 4. For cities with poor air quality, it is recommended to replace the cabin air filter twice a year to ensure health.
I just bought a Nissan Sunny and recently changed the cabin air filter myself—feeling quite accomplished! It's located behind the glove box, not too hard to find—just open the glove box, some models have clips or buttons on both sides. Gently press or pull them, and the glove box will lower or come off, revealing a plastic cover. Unscrew or flip it open, and the filter is right inside. I recommend replacing it every six months to a year. I used to neglect this, and ended up with weak airflow and a musty smell in the car, which isn’t good for health, especially during allergy seasons. Changing it is simple: buy a matching filter online (check the manual for the model number), spend less than 30 bucks for a DIY fix—much cheaper and more convenient than going to the dealership. Just remember to turn off the engine to avoid any electrical hazards.
