The air filter of the Mercedes-Benz V260 is located inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. Introduction to the Mercedes-Benz V260: 1. The body dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz V260 are 5370mm in length, 1928mm in width, and 2100mm in height. 2.

Regarding the location of the Mercedes-Benz V260's cabin air filter, I remember it clearly—it's in the front passenger footwell area. After opening the glove compartment, you'll find a plastic cover. Pry it open, and the filter cartridge will be visible, secured in its slot. Replacing it is straightforward and tool-free: first, empty the glove compartment, then press the clips on both sides outward to release the cover. When removing the old filter, pay attention to its orientation—the arrow should point toward the blower motor to avoid reduced efficiency if installed backward. It's recommended to replace it twice a year, ideally during spring and autumn, as summer heat makes cabin access uncomfortable. DIY replacement saves money, prevents dust and allergen buildup, and safeguards your family's health. Online video tutorials make it easy to follow—don’t wait until the AC emits odd odors to act. By the way, many Mercedes models have similar filter placements. After replacement, airflow may improve slightly—just ensure you buy the correct filter model.
