The air conditioning filter element of the Peugeot 4008 is located in the glove box. The specific steps are as follows: 1. There is a black plastic panel above the passenger footwell with two retractable clips. Remove the panel by releasing these clips. 2. Then, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, remove the body control module, and detach the mounting bracket for the body control module (two 12mm nuts). 3. Next, remove the panel on the left side of the passenger footwell, which is secured by four screws. Once removed, you can access the air conditioning filter. The functions of the air conditioning filter are: 1. To filter the air entering the cabin from the outside, improving air cleanliness. The filter typically removes impurities such as tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust. 2. The air conditioning filter prevents these substances from entering the air conditioning system, thereby protecting the system and providing a good air environment for passengers. It also helps maintain passenger health and prevents window fogging.
Locating the cabin air filter on the Peugeot 4008 is quite straightforward – I've changed it several times myself with ease. The filter is typically situated behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove box, you'll notice a small panel or clips on the inner side. Usually, no tools are needed; just gently push or unclip it to reveal the hidden filter housing. When performing this task, I always clean away any dust first before inserting the new filter in the correct orientation – the whole process takes about 10 minutes. It's recommended to replace the filter every six months or according to seasonal changes to maintain fresh cabin air. Given the heavy pollution during city traffic jams, regular replacements safeguard health and prevent musty odors when using the AC. Remember to purchase OEM or compatible filters and ensure the arrow direction is correctly aligned during installation.
