How many air filters does the Mercedes-Benz V260 have?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz V260 has two air filters, one located behind the glove box on the passenger side and the other above the left wall behind the third-row seats in the second air vent. Function of car air filters: They filter the air entering the cabin from outside to improve air cleanliness. The filtered substances include impurities in the air, such as tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust. The air filter prevents these substances from entering the air conditioning system, thus protecting it, providing a good air environment for passengers, safeguarding their health, and preventing window fogging. Air filter replacement cycle: It is recommended to replace the car's air filter once a year. If not replaced for a long time, the air filter can become very dirty, severely affecting the air conditioning's performance and potentially leading to mold and unpleasant odors. Saving a few dozen dollars by not replacing it is not worth the potential health risks.
I've had quite a bit of experience with the Mercedes-Benz V260. This model usually comes with two air filters, which shows thoughtful design. One is located near the engine compartment at the fresh air intake, specifically handling coarse dust and pollen; the other is hidden under the dashboard or in the footwell area on the passenger side for the recirculation system, responsible for filtering fine dust, odors, and even PM2.5. I always pay attention to these because dirty air can easily clog the filters, reducing AC airflow and unnecessarily increasing fuel consumption. It's recommended to check and replace them every 6 months or 10,000 kilometers. DIY replacement isn't difficult—there are plenty of online tutorials, and all you need is a Phillips screwdriver and OEM filters. Regular filter maintenance enhances cabin comfort, making long drives less tiring.
