Where is the air conditioning filter of Mercedes-Benz GLC located?
2 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz GLC has two air conditioning filters, one located in the engine compartment and the other inside the glove box on the passenger side. The air conditioning filter is a type of filter installed in the car's air conditioning system, capable of absorbing dust particles, alleviating respiratory discomfort, reducing irritation for allergy sufferers, and protecting the air conditioning cooling system. The Mercedes-Benz GLC is the first crossover model launched by Mercedes-Benz, with body dimensions of 4764mm in length, 1898mm in width, and 1642mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2973mm. The vehicle comes with a high level of standard equipment, including knee airbags, auto hold, adjustable suspension, variable steering ratio, active braking, panoramic sunroof, automatic parking, keyless start, roadside assistance, LED automatic headlights, automatic air conditioning, and more.
As a Mercedes-Benz GLC owner, I've been driving this car for several years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Replacing it isn't actually difficult: you need to first open the glove compartment door, release the clips or screws on both sides, then remove the entire glove compartment to reveal a plastic cover, which is the filter housing. Open the cover, remove the old filter and replace it with a new one, making sure not to install it backwards—some models feature a two-layer design. I usually replace it every 20,000 kilometers or once a year. The OEM filter offers reliable quality, effectively filtering pollen and dust. The placement inside the glove compartment avoids exposure to engine heat, but wearing gloves is recommended to protect the interior during the process. If you're unsure, keep a toolkit handy or refer to the manual or video tutorials. This routine keeps the cabin air fresher, especially reducing bacterial growth during humid seasons.
