Where is the air conditioning filter located on the Peugeot 508?

The air conditioning filter of the Peugeot 508 is located at the level of the driver's right foot when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, hidden at the bottom of the center console. Due to the obstruction of the accelerator pedal, it is difficult to expose the operating surface when replacing the air conditioning filter. Below is a detailed introduction to the air conditioning filter: 1. Replacing the air conditioning filter for this car is quite troublesome. When replacing the filter, you first need to unscrew the central screw on the cover plate with a T20 screwdriver, then use both hands to pull the upper and lower sides of the plate towards the front of the car to remove the cover plate. Only after removing the cover plate can you see the installation position of the air conditioning filter. 2. The filter replacement is very inconvenient, so you can choose a small screwdriver for the operation. Pay attention to the direction of the air filter; during installation, follow the arrow indication and never install it backward. 3. The replacement cycle for the air conditioning filter is about 10,000 kilometers or six months. If the car is in an area with poor environmental quality or frequent haze, it is recommended to replace it every three months. If the air quality in the area is good, the replacement cycle for the air conditioning filter can be appropriately extended.
The air conditioning filter for the Peugeot 508 is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. I've changed it a few times before, and the position is thoughtfully designed—right above the footwell area, and you can see the filter housing once you remove the glove compartment. First, empty the glove compartment, then gently lift or twist the clips to remove it, revealing the filter slot. When replacing, pay attention to the arrow direction to avoid installing it backward, which could affect filtration efficiency. This task is simple and hassle-free, something you can easily do yourself to save on maintenance costs. It's recommended to replace it every 1 to 2 years, especially in areas with heavy dust like northern China, where more frequent changes are necessary. A dirty filter can reduce airflow, cause unpleasant odors, or increase strain on the AC system, shortening its lifespan. While driving, keep an eye on airflow smoothness—regular cleaning ensures fresh air inside the car.
