Where is the Outlander's cabin air filter located?
2 Answers
The Outlander's cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Here is some additional information about the cabin air filter: 1. The cabin air filter is very important for the car and should be replaced regularly: It is recommended to replace the cabin air filter every 10,000 kilometers. 2. Regular cleaning of the air conditioning system is essential: Prolonged use of the car's air conditioning can lead to bacterial growth. If not cleaned regularly, it can affect the health of the passengers. 3. Cleaning the cabin air filter: Do not use low-quality cleaning agents to clean the cabin air filter, as frequent use can damage the blower motor bearings.
I remember when I drove the Outlander, I enjoyed tinkering with small car parts myself. The cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. To access it, you first need to open the glove box, locate the plastic clips and bolts inside, which can usually be unscrewed gently by hand or with small pliers. Slowly pull the compartment downward, being careful not to tug too hard to avoid damaging any wires, and then you'll see the filter housing. The cover is typically a sliding type—just move it aside to reveal the filter. If you're replacing it yourself, it's recommended to check every six months or every 10,000 kilometers, or more frequently in areas with poor air quality. Don't wait until there's a musty smell or reduced airflow from the AC to address it—this filter traps dust and pollen, protecting respiratory health. A universal replacement costs just a few dozen bucks, much cheaper than going to a repair shop. When installing the new filter, make sure to align it with the arrow direction to avoid clogging the system.
