The cabin air filter for a 2022 Nissan Rogue Sport is located behind the glove box. Access it by opening and lowering the glove box and removing the filter housing cover. This placement is standard for Rogue/Rogue Sport models in recent years.
In this guide, you’ll find a straightforward description of the location, the tools you may need, and a step-by-step process to locate and replace the filter safely.
Location and access
On the 2022 Rogue Sport, the cabin air filter sits in a rectangular housing behind the passenger-side glove box. To reach it, open the glove box, release the side stoppers or damper, and lower the box until the filter housing is exposed. A small access panel or cover usually conceals the filter itself.
Once you remove the housing cover, you’ll see the old filter and the space for the new one. Ensure you orient the new filter correctly before installation.
Tools and preparation
Gather these items before you begin so the replacement goes smoothly.
- New cabin air filter compatible with the 2022 Rogue Sport (charcoal versions are common in higher trims).
- Optional: small flat-head or Phillips screwdriver if screws are used on the housing.
- Flashlight or phone light to illuminate the area.
- Clean cloth to wipe away dust from the housing.
With the right tools at hand, you’re ready to perform the replacement. If your model uses a clip-only housing, no screwdriver is needed; if screws are present, use the appropriate driver to remove them.
Step-by-step replacement
Follow these steps to access, remove, and replace the cabin air filter.
- Park the vehicle on a flat surface and turn off the engine. Engage the parking brake for safety.
- Open the passenger-side glove box and remove its contents.
- On many Rogue Sport models, squeeze the sides of the glove box to release the stoppers and lower the box fully.
- Locate the rectangular filter housing behind or inside the glove box area and remove the housing cover by unclipping or unscrewing as needed.
- Carefully pull out the old cabin air filter. Note the orientation of the filter and any airflow arrows on the frame.
- Insert the new filter with the arrows pointing toward the inside of the vehicle (toward the blower motor). Ensure it sits flat and fully seated in the housing.
- Reinstall the filter housing cover, raise the glove box back into place, and close it securely.
- If applicable, reattach the glove box damper or restore any clips you removed. Run the HVAC briefly to confirm air flow and that the filter is properly seated.
Note: Some Rogue Sport trims use a charcoal-activated microfilter, which may be a bit thicker. Make sure the cover fits securely and there’s no binding when closing the glove box.
Tips and maintenance reminders
Replace the cabin air filter on a schedule recommended in your owner’s manual, typically every 12–15 months or 15,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. If you notice reduced airflow, unusual odors, or increased pollen exposure, inspect and replace the filter sooner.
Summary
For a 2022 Nissan Rogue Sport, the cabin air filter is located behind the passenger-side glove box. Access it by lowering the glove box, removing the housing cover, and exchanging the old filter for a new one with the correct orientation. The task is straightforward and can often be done without tools, depending on your trim. Always consult the owner’s manual for the exact interval and any trim-specific instructions.
