If you own a 2015 Nissan Altima and need to replace the cabin air filter, you’re in the right place! Follow these simple steps to get the job done.
Hi, I’m Brian Nelson from How to Automotive, and I’m here to walk you through the process of replacing the cabin air filter on the 2015 Nissan Altima.
The cabin air filter is located just below the glove box on the left-hand side of the footwell, behind a panel. Here’s how to do it:
- Start by grabbing the panel at the bottom and pulling it straight out towards you. Work your way around, pulling the panel in smaller increments until it’s fully removed.
- Locate the little hatch in the far left corner of the footwell and remove the door by pulling the tab upwards and then towards you.
- If you have slim fingers, you can reach in and grab the filter to pull it out. Otherwise, you can use a hook tool to slide in between the filter, twist, and pull it out.
- Once the old filter is removed, squeeze the new filter slightly to fit it into the airbox. Then, start by inserting the bottom corner, rotate it up into the slot, and feed it until fully seated.
- Reattach the door by hooking it into the track and rotating it until it locks into place. Ensure it’s secure by giving it a little tug.
- Finally, reinstall the side kick panel by lining it up with the slots and pushing it in until it clicks into place.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully changed the cabin air filter on your 2015 Nissan Altima. I hope this guide has been helpful. If you need the replacement part and part numbers, you can find them in the description below. Thanks for reading!
