The cabin air filter of the Livina is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Steps to replace the cabin air filter: 1. First, open the glove compartment on the passenger side and remove the screws on the glove compartment; 2. Then, squeeze both sides of the glove compartment to remove it; 3. Remove the cabin air filter cover and take out the old filter; 4. Replace it with a new cabin air filter and reassemble everything in reverse order. The Livina is an economical hatchback launched by Dongfeng Nissan for the Chinese market. In terms of appearance, the front face of the Livina adopts the typical Nissan design style. The full front face features a bold and large grille divided by the Nissan logo, paired with sharp headlight clusters on both sides and a slightly protruding front bumper, giving a sense of stability. In terms of body dimensions, the Livina measures 4249mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1577mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2600mm.
Last time I changed the Livi's cabin air filter, it was quite a hassle. It's hidden deep inside the glove compartment on the passenger side, requiring the entire glove box to be removed first. There are five screws in total to remove—be careful not to break the plastic clips. After removing the glove box, you'll see a rectangular plastic cover; gently push it to the side to remove the cover. The filter is a thin rectangle, covered in dust when pulled out. A reminder for those doing it themselves: check the arrow direction on the new filter before installing—installing it backward affects filtration. Remember to check it every 10,000 kilometers or if there's any odor; the design of this location isn't very user-friendly.
Our Livina owners group often talks about this cabin air filter. It's hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and those who are handy can definitely replace it themselves. First, empty the glove compartment and locate the retaining clips on both sides at the bottom, then lift them up to release. Once the entire glove compartment is lowered, you'll see a black plastic cover; just pry open the clips with your fingers to remove the old filter. Remember to choose a dual-effect filter with activated carbon when buying one, and it's best to replace it before the summer rainy season. Doing it yourself saves 200 yuan compared to the dealership, but remember to wear gloves to avoid getting cut by the plastic edges. After replacement, turn on the AC and you'll immediately feel the air is much fresher.
