Where is the Nissan Patrol's cabin air filter located?
2 Answers
The Nissan Patrol's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. You can access it by opening the glove compartment. The cabin air filter ensures clean air in the passenger compartment, preventing bacterial growth. It effectively filters out dust, pollen, and other solid particles, and blocks pollen to prevent allergic reactions that could affect driving safety. The Nissan Patrol is Nissan's first full-size SUV, with dimensions of 5140mm in length, 1995mm in width, and 1955mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3075mm. It is powered by a 5.6L V8 engine featuring gasoline direct injection technology, delivering a maximum power of 398 horsepower and a peak torque of 550 Nm.
In the Nissan Patrol model, the cabin air filter is usually hidden behind the glove compartment on the front passenger side. I've personally changed it several times during my long-distance drives in the Patrol - the location is quite concealed but the operation isn't too complicated. You'll need to open the glovebox first, where there are typically several small clips or screws on the inner layer. After removing these, you can pull out the glovebox tray to reveal the filter compartment. Don't worry about breaking it - just apply gentle pressure when pushing. I recommend checking it every 20,000 km or about once a year, otherwise dust and odors can accumulate in the cabin, affecting driving comfort. Especially in heavily polluted urban areas, the filter clogs up quickly. If not replaced promptly, the AC airflow may weaken and the air won't feel fresh. Actually, replacing it is quite simple - just spend about 100 yuan on a new filter and you're set. Basic tools like a screwdriver or pliers will do, saving you a trip to the repair shop. Remember this important safety tip - always turn off the engine before servicing and wear gloves for dust protection.
