Air Filter Button

Ok i've been searching trying to find a picture of this to no avail...Which button is the one that activates the "Cabin Filter" ? None of my buttons actually say anything to that extent.

Thanks in advance.

Cabin filter is always active. If you mean the pollen filter, aka fart button, its the picture of the guy sitting/squatting, with a screen door in front of him. All this does is switch to recirc and uses only the upper vents.

When you press the button, the system will switch to recirc mode for a few minutes to pass all of the cabin air thru the filter. Once the cycle is complete, it goes back to whatever mode you had it before you pressed the button.

Even when the ac turns on full blast, you can hit the AC button off and it will still be on re-circulate smog filter mode. Skunk smell is a rough one (LOL). I once ran over one in an Altima 10 years ago in the middle of July. The skun decided it was a good time to cross a busy two lane 55mph road around a turn. I thought I was all good until I realized the juice was all over my wheel weel. It took a weeks worth of washing to remove. That smell conveniently made it's way into my interior. It smelled worse than a pacaderm house in the middle of a humid summer.
