Anyone Know What This Is

[sturb25]

I was reading my owners manual and it says theres this thing i dont understand, page 60 reads

Using the Air conditioner section

Clean Filter (Dealer option)

The air conditioner has a cleaning filter which collects dust and pollen ect.

Refer to the label inside the glove box and read the cautions.

To attach/replace the clean filter contact the nearest nissan dealer

(replace the filter every 2 years or 24,000km)

It has a picture which shows a vent type thing which sits below the rear window demister. Its got like 4 vents.

So me being curious i decided to pull my dash apart in search of this filter so i can replace it. Behind that vent is this thing below, it doesnt look anything like a filter but more like a sensor. It has a plug attached

Anyone know what it is and where my filter is if im supposed to have one.

Sorry about the dodjy photo my camera doesnt take real good close ups

thats your inside air temp sensor, it tells the climate control unit what the temp in the cabin is.

the air con filters are located behind the glove box. from memory, you need to remove the glove box, the piece of plastic trim and steel bracing behind the glove box to get to them. they are fairly easy to get to, someone did post up a little tutorial in the stagea section with pics on how to get to them.

Yeah ive read that but i thought there might of been an additional filter but yes it is a sensor and your cabin temp sensor is on the dash, its that black round thing on the passenger side below the windscreen.

no, the one you pictured, that is mounted behind the small grill cut out bit just under the rear demister switch and syncro button, is the inside air temp sensor. the round one on the passenger side corner below the windscreen is the sunload sensor. it does two things, when you in the sun the a/c will work harder to keep the cabin cool, and tells the 'set and forget' headlights when to turn on/off.

i'm not sure if there are any other filters, the only ones i've found were the pollen filters behind the glove box.
