Where is the cabin air filter located in the Renault Kadjar?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Renault Kadjar is located on the side near the center console on the passenger side. Replacing the cabin air filter in the Kadjar can be quite troublesome. Some owners have to cut off part of the plastic cover during replacement and then use a rope to tie the filter in place for installation. The cabin air filter helps absorb dust particles, alleviate respiratory discomfort, reduce irritation for allergy sufferers, and also protects the vehicle's air conditioning cooling system. The Kadjar is a compact SUV under the Renault brand, featuring a 5-door, 5-seat body structure. Its dimensions are 4508mm in length, 1836mm in width, and 1629mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2645mm. The suspension system employs MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
The Renault Kadjar's cabin air filter is usually hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. As a daily driver and novice, I was a bit confused when searching for it the first time. After opening the glove box, you need to remove it entirely – there's usually a small latch or button that releases it with a gentle push. Then you'll spot a rectangular cover; opening it reveals the filter inside. This positioning is designed to prevent road dust and moisture from entering the AC system, which could affect its lifespan. I replace the filter every 15,000 km and can noticeably feel fresher airflow from the AC. It's even better to change it before humid rainy seasons or pollen seasons, as this helps maintain cabin air quality, prevents odors and respiratory discomfort, and boosts driving comfort. DIY replacement is cost-effective – just order the filter online for around tens of RMB, simple and safe.
