Where is the Renault Air Conditioning Filter Located?

Renault's air conditioning filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below are the steps to replace the air conditioning filter: 1. Open the glove compartment on the passenger side; 2. Then release the plastic clip on the right side of the glove compartment; 3. Squeeze both sides of the glove compartment and remove it; 4. Pull out the old air conditioning filter; 5. Install the new air conditioning filter. Additional Information: 1. Renault cars are among the most exported vehicles to Germany. The new Renault Captur features a horizontally connected lower air intake on the front bumper, with newly added C-shaped daytime running lights on both sides. The tailgate lines have been adjusted, and it comes with black-background taillights and a slightly modified lower bumper. 2. In terms of power, the new car will continue to be equipped with the existing 1.2T engine, which has a maximum power of 116 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I used to drive a Renault, and the cabin air filter is usually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove box, you need to remove it entirely, and you'll typically see a small access panel. Opening it allows you to pull out and replace the filter. The design is quite convenient—I change it every year or after driving 15,000 kilometers because excessive dust buildup can affect the air conditioning's cooling efficiency and degrade the air quality inside the car, making my nose feel itchy. I’ve replaced it myself a few times, which saves money. No special tools are needed—just a screwdriver to loosen the clips—but you have to be careful not to damage the plastic parts of the glove box. The first time, it took me a while to locate it, but referring to the owner’s manual and online videos made it easy. Some Renault models like the Clio or Megane have a similar setup, and those with decent DIY skills can easily handle it. After replacement, the air from the vents feels much fresher, making long drives more comfortable.

I enjoy fixing cars myself, and I'm very familiar with the location of the Renault cabin air filter—it's right behind the glove box, and it's quite simple to remove. First, use your hands or a screwdriver to release the clips on both sides of the glove box, pull it down, and you'll see a small compartment door. Pry it open, and the filter can be pulled out. I recommend checking it every six months, especially during the rainy season when humidity can cause the filter to mold, leading to odd smells that can harm your health. When replacing the filter, choose one with activated carbon for better quality and more thorough filtration. Make sure to install it with the arrow pointing in the correct direction. No professional tools are needed—it takes just ten minutes and saves on repair costs. I've experienced the consequences of not replacing it: reduced airflow from the AC and dusty vents, which really affects the driving experience. Now, regular maintenance has become a habit, and the location is so straightforward that even beginners can learn it easily.

Most Renault cabin air filters are hidden behind the glove box, which can be accessed by removing the glove compartment. This design allows car owners to replace it conveniently by themselves, protecting the air conditioning system from dust clogging. I replace it every 12,000 kilometers - a dirty filter reduces airflow, decreases AC efficiency, and may even cause unpleasant odors. The filter is consistently located on the passenger side, and only basic tools are needed for removal. After replacement, the cabin feels fresher and driving becomes much safer.
