How to Change a Cabin Air Filter in a Nissan Versa

A philips screwdriver is used to complete this project.

Most Nissan Versa models are equipped with an in-cabin microfilter, also known as a cabin air filter. The cabin air filter restricts pollen, dust and debris from flowing through the air conditioning system into the passenger cabin. Cabin air filters are effective at keeping odors from outside the car from entering the ventilation system. Nissan recommends replacing the filter every 15,000 miles or once per year. If you drive the Versa in heavy traffic or on dusty roads, the filter can get dirty more quickly. These instructions apply to the 2010 Nissan Versa.

Things You'll Need

• Philips screwdriver
• New cabin air filter

Instructions

1. Remove the two screws on the top of the glove compartment. Remove the three screws on the bottom of the glove compartment.

2. Pull the glove compartment straight out to remove it, providing access to the cabin air filter compartment.

3. Grasp the exposed end of the filter. Pull it downward and out to remove it.

4. Slide the new filter into the filter compartment. Make sure the "Up" arrow printed on the filter is pointing toward the ceiling of the Versa. Push the filter up and in until it goes all the way into the compartment.

5. Replace the glove compartment. Install the five screws that hold the glove compartment in place.
