Where is the Sunny's air conditioning filter located?

The Sunny's air conditioning filter is located above the left foot position of the front passenger seat, with a white cover on the right side serving as the air filter housing. The functions of the air conditioning filter are: 1. To filter air entering the cabin from outside, improving air cleanliness; 2. To provide a comfortable environment for occupants and protect their health. Taking the 2016 Sunny as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4456mm, width 1696mm, height 1514mm, wheelbase 2600mm, and minimum ground clearance 116mm. The 2016 Sunny is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivering maximum power of 82kW and maximum torque of 139Nm, paired with a CVT transmission.

The cabin air filter is usually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. I own a Nissan Sunny and just replaced it last month. The operation is quite simple. First, open the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat, then squeeze the plastic clips on both sides firmly toward the center to remove the entire compartment. Inside, there's a rectangular cover plate - just pry it open to reveal the cabin air filter. Remember there's an arrow direction indicator on the new filter, don't install it backwards. I recommend replacing it every six months or every 10,000 kilometers, otherwise the AC will develop a musty smell. You can get the filter online for about 30 yuan, which is much more cost-effective than going to the 4S store.

Finding the glove compartment on the passenger side means you're halfway there. The cabin air filter in the Sunshine model is hidden behind the inner side of the glove compartment. You'll need to remove the glove compartment to see the plastic cover panel inside. I usually enjoy maintaining my car myself and find this task quite easy, though it might take about twenty minutes for first-timers. The filter is mainly responsible for filtering out dust and pollen from outside the car, especially during spring when willow catkins are abundant and most likely to clog it, directly resulting in reduced airflow from the AC. After replacing the filter, you'll noticeably feel the air is much fresher, and your nose won't itch while driving. It's recommended to check it every quarter.

It can be found by removing the glove box. The cabin air filter for the Sunny is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. After releasing the clips, you can see the filter compartment. If you're replacing it yourself, just prepare a Phillips screwdriver and follow online tutorial videos. Beginners should note that the plastic clips are fragile, so avoid using excessive force. If the filter isn't replaced for a long time, it will accumulate dust, which will be blown into the cabin when the air conditioning is turned on. I usually replace it every 20,000 kilometers, with the most critical replacement time being around the transition between spring and summer. In humid southern regions, more frequent replacement is necessary.
