Where is the Nissan Qashqai's air conditioning filter located?
2 Answers
The Nissan Qashqai's air conditioning filter is located inside the interior trim panel in front of the driver's footwell. Below is an introduction to the functions of the air conditioning filter: 1. It can adsorb moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, and other substances in the air. 2. It has strong and long-lasting moisture absorption, preventing the car windows from fogging up and ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers, promoting safe driving. 3. It supplies fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. 4. It effectively sterilizes and deodorizes, maintaining clean cabin air and preventing bacterial growth, creating a healthy environment. 5. It effectively separates solid impurities such as dust, powder, and grinding particles from the air. 6. It effectively intercepts pollen, ensuring that drivers and passengers do not experience allergic reactions that could affect safe driving.
I've been driving the Qashqai for three years and have replaced the air conditioning filter several times. It's located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Specifically, you need to open the compartment, empty its contents, and then find small buttons or clips on both sides of the compartment. Press or pull them to remove the rear cover, and the filter is right there. Replacing it yourself is very simple: pull out the old one and insert the new one in the direction of the arrow. The arrow usually points toward the interior air intake, so don't install it backward. If you don't replace it for a long time, the filter will get clogged with dust, the airflow from the vents will weaken, and there will be a musty smell, making you prone to sneezing on long drives. I recommend checking it every 10,000 kilometers or referring to the maintenance manual—usually, it should be replaced every 12 months. Doing it yourself saves money and hassle, takes less than 15 minutes, and requires no tools.
