Where is the Nissan Qashqai's Cabin Air Filter Located?
2 Answers
The Nissan Qashqai's cabin air filter is located under the driver's seat, to the right of the accelerator pedal. There is a small, elongated clip strip that can be removed to reveal the filter inside. The cabin air filter ensures that the air conditioning system fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. It also separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. Here are the specific details about the Qashqai: 1. Body dimensions: The Qashqai is positioned between a compact SUV and a hatchback, with a length of 4315 mm, a width of 1783 mm, a height of 1606 mm, and a wheelbase of 2630 mm. 2. Interior and configuration: The Qashqai is equipped with a 9-inch high-definition capacitive touchscreen and the NissanConnect system, providing smart voice control, 24/7 entertainment, full-time in-car navigation, and remote real-time monitoring.
I've been driving my Nissan Qashqai for several years, and the cabin air filter is located right behind the glove box – you can feel its position as soon as you pull it open. When I change it myself, I usually empty the glove box first, then gently press the clips on both sides to slowly remove it, revealing a rectangular cover where the filter is hidden. Remember not to use too much force to avoid damaging the plastic parts. I recommend checking it every six months or around 10,000 kilometers because when it gets dirty, the airflow from the AC weakens, and there's a strange smell. Doing it yourself saves time and money compared to visiting the dealership. The key is that timely replacement keeps the cabin air cleaner, makes the AC cooler in summer, and is better for your health. It doesn't cost much, but forgetting to replace it could lead to issues with the entire AC system.
