Where is the Renault's cabin air filter located?
2 Answers
Renault's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Here is some information about cabin air filters: 1. Replacement interval: The cabin air filter should generally be replaced every 10,000 kilometers. 2. Functions: The air filter can absorb dust particles, reduce respiratory discomfort, minimize irritation for allergy sufferers, enhance driving comfort, and protect the air conditioning cooling system. 3. Effects: It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin; separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air; absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc. from the air; and has strong and long-lasting moisture absorption capabilities.
I usually drive a Renault, and the cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove compartment. You'll need to remove the glove box to easily access the filter housing. I recommend checking it every 20,000 kilometers or replacing it annually. This component is crucial for maintaining good air quality inside the car. If neglected, accumulated dust and pollen can cause coughing or allergies among passengers. The replacement process is straightforward: first, turn off the engine, release the clips on both sides of the glove box, and remove it to reveal the filter position. Remember to purchase genuine or compatible replacement filters to avoid affecting the AC performance. Last time I replaced it myself, it only took ten minutes, and the air instantly felt much fresher. Regular maintenance also extends the lifespan of the AC system, preventing costly repairs down the line. In summary, behind the glove box is the common location, but it may vary slightly between models—consult your owner's manual for specific details.
