Some models of the Nissan Maxima are equipped with a cabin air filter that blocks dust, pollen and allergens from entering the passenger compartment. Nissan recommends replacing this filter every 10,000 miles or at least once per year. A clean cabin air filter will keep the air in the passenger area cleaner and will improve air circulation throughout the air conditioning system.
