Where is the Nissan Livina's cabin air filter located?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter of the Livina is located under the dashboard, inside the trim panel in front of the passenger seat. The Livina is a compact car designed by Nissan, with competitors mainly including the Polo, Fit, and similar models. Poor maintenance of the cabin air filter can lead to the accumulation of dust and dirt on the filter plate, radiator, evaporator, and fin surfaces, causing airflow blockage. Additionally, your air conditioning system may experience reduced cooling and heating efficiency, increased power consumption, noise, and a shortened lifespan. Here is some additional information: Cabin Air Filter: Generally, the car's cabin air filter should be replaced every 10,000-15,000 kilometers or once a year. It is often replaced after the Spring Festival because the cabin air filter is used more frequently during winter and summer. Replacing it at this time helps address pollen dispersal in spring, as some people are sensitive to pollen or willow catkins. High-quality cabin air filters can effectively filter pollen, allowing you to use the air conditioning in the car without worrying about pollen or willow catkins entering the cabin.
I've driven a Livina for many years, and the cabin air filter is located right behind the glove box, quite visible. It was a bit tricky to find the first time, but later I discovered that by first emptying the glove box and pressing the release buttons on both sides firmly, the entire glove box can be removed. Inside, there's a square box which is the filter housing—just open the cover and the old filter can be pulled out. Changing it yourself is quite straightforward. I often choose the activated carbon type, which is effective at filtering pollen and odors, making the air in the car much fresher. Remember to replace it every 10,000 kilometers or once a year; otherwise, the airflow decreases and musty smells can develop. During regular maintenance, it's good to check it to avoid blockages, saving money and being eco-friendly. The design is very user-friendly, and even beginners can manage it by watching instructional videos.
