Where is the cabin air filter located in the Nissan Tiida?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Nissan Tiida is positioned in the middle of the instrument panel. It can be easily accessed by removing the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. The cabin air filter is a component installed in the vehicle's air conditioning system, designed to absorb dust particles, alleviate respiratory discomfort, reduce irritation for allergy sufferers, and protect the air conditioning cooling system. The Nissan Tiida is a compact car introduced by Dongfeng Nissan, with dimensions of 4393mm in length, 1766mm in width, and 1539mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine delivering a maximum power of 90kW, paired with either a CVT transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission.
I remember being a bit confused the first time I changed the air filter for my Tiida, only to find out it's located inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. After opening the glove box, you need to remove the small clips or screws on both sides, then pull it downward to reveal the filter housing tucked inside. The placement is quite hidden, but DIY replacement is actually hassle-free, usually taking just a few minutes to remove and install. I make it a habit to check every 10,000 kilometers or so because a heavily soiled filter can block airflow, leading to unpleasant odors in the car and easily fogged-up windows. After replacing it with a new filter, breathing becomes much more comfortable, and you save on expensive dealership service costs. Swapping it during routine maintenance saves a lot of hassle—I recommend trying a matching brand filter for more reliable quality.
