How to Change the Cabin Air Filter in a Nissan Leaf

Model: Nissan Leaf ZE0, MK 1 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Cabin air filter

To replace the cabin air filter in a first-generation Nissan Leaf, get inside the vehicle and position yourself on the passenger side. Open the glove compartment and remove the clips or screws securing it, allowing you to lower or completely remove it. Behind the drawer, locate the cabin filter cover, usually positioned near the ventilation assembly. Unclip the cover and slide out the old filter, taking care to note the installation direction. Before inserting the new one, clean the housing of any dust or dirt. Then insert the new filter, ensuring it matches the airflow direction indicated on the component. Close the filter cover, reassemble the glove compartment, and check the ventilation system's proper operation.
