2 Answers
The cabin air filter of Dongfeng Nissan X-Trail is located on the front passenger side, beneath the glove compartment near the center console. Generally, the cabin air filter is positioned behind the glove box in most vehicles. After removing the glove box following the instructions, you can see the cabin air filter. Below is an introduction about replacing the cabin air filter for Dongfeng Nissan X-Trail: 1. If the airflow from the air conditioner significantly decreases, the cabin air filter may be clogged. First, clean the filter or replace it if necessary. 2. The cleaning frequency depends on road conditions (such as dusty roads). It is recommended to clean it earlier. 3. The cabin air filter should be correctly installed in its position. Using the air conditioner when the filter is removed may degrade dustproof performance and affect air conditioning performance. 4. In cities with poor air quality, it is recommended to replace the cabin air filter twice a year to ensure your health. The cabin air filter easily accumulates dust, which can be blown away with compressed air. Never wash it with water, as this can easily damage it. After some use, the activated carbon filtration function in the cabin air filter will diminish, so please visit a 4S store to replace the cabin air filter.
The cabin air filter for the Dongfeng Nissan X-Trail is typically hidden behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. If you notice reduced airflow or unpleasant odors from the AC, it's time to inspect it. Having driven this model for several years, I've replaced mine multiple times. The location isn't immediately obvious – you'll need to open the glove box door where there's usually a small cover or clip that can be gently pushed aside to reveal the filter slot. Simply slide out the old filter and replace it. This filter traps dust and pollen entering the vehicle; when clogged, it compromises air quality, especially during allergy seasons or hazy days when driving becomes uncomfortable. I recommend annual replacement – purchasing affordable compatible filters and DIY installation can save you unnecessary repair shop expenses.
