3 Answers
The air filter of Mercedes S600 is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. Here are some introductions about the air filter: 1. Functions: (1) It can make the air filter fit tightly to the shell, ensuring that unfiltered air does not enter the cabin; (2) It can separate solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles in the air; (3) It can adsorb moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., in the air, with strong and lasting moisture adsorption; (4) It can prevent the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and safe driving; it can provide fresh air to the cabin, preventing harmful gases from being inhaled and ensuring driving safety, with strong sterilization and deodorization effects; (5) It can ensure clean air in the cabin without breeding bacteria, creating a healthy environment; it can effectively separate solid impurities such as dust, core powder, and grinding particles in the air; it can effectively intercept pollen, ensuring that drivers and passengers do not have allergic reactions that affect driving safety. 2. Precautions: The air filter is very prone to accumulating a lot of dust. Use compressed air or similar methods to blow away the dust. Never wash it with water, as it can easily be damaged. After a period of use, the activated carbon filtration function in the air filter will diminish, so please go to a 4S shop to replace the air filter.
I've been repairing Mercedes-Benz models for over a decade and am very familiar with the location of the S600's cabin air filter. It's mainly in the bottom area in front of the front passenger seat, behind the glove box. The first step is to remove any items from the glove box, then carefully push aside the clips inside to remove the glove box, revealing a black plastic housing that contains the cabin air filter assembly. When replacing it, remember to turn off the AC first to prevent dust from flying around, then align the new filter according to the arrow direction. The Mercedes S600's design is quite thoughtful, with easily accessible placement, but it's still recommended to check it every year or 15,000 kilometers. If left too long, a clogged filter will reduce AC cooling efficiency and cause musty odors inside the car, especially during long summer drives. Wear gloves when doing it yourself to avoid scratching the interior—it's really not complicated to handle, and repair shops charge several hundred dollars for this service.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz S600 for five years and often replace small parts myself. The cabin air filter is indeed located in the footwell on the passenger side. When removing the glove box, don't use excessive force - just gently release the clips inside. The filter is housed in the square compartment behind it. DIY replacement is quite convenient; a Phillips screwdriver is sufficient, and a genuine replacement filter bought online costs around a hundred yuan. I make it a habit to change it during spring and autumn to maintain fresh cabin air. For someone with allergic rhinitis like me, filtering out dust significantly reduces sneezing. Though the dealership always pushes for maintenance services, I find DIY both cost-effective and reliable. As long as you don't misplace the components, there's no risk. Remember to clean the surrounding dust before reinstalling. The whole process takes under half an hour and doesn't compromise driving safety.
