The cabin air filter in a 2017 Peugeot 408 is located behind the plastic panel on the left side of the front passenger footwell. The replacement steps are as follows: 1. Remove the circular cover on the plastic panel near the front passenger's left leg; 2. Insert your fingers to detach and remove the entire plastic panel; 3. You will then see the blower motor and the cabin air filter housing; 4. Press and release the plastic clips on the cabin air filter housing to remove it; 5. Replace with a new cabin air filter and reassemble in reverse order of disassembly. The 2017 Peugeot 408 is a compact car launched by Dongfeng Peugeot. Its front fascia continues Peugeot's signature family design, featuring an inverted trapezoidal grille wrapped in chrome trim with futuristic matrix-style interior detailing. The elongated triangular headlights appear very sharp, and the illuminated LED daytime running lights exude a regal lion-like presence.
I've changed the cabin air filter several times on my 2017 Peugeot 408. It's located behind the glove box on the passenger side, which is quite easy to find. Just open the glove box, there are two small clips that need to be gently pushed off, and then you can see the filter cover. Remove the cover to take out the old filter and replace it with a new one. It's very simple to do it yourself, and you don't need any special tools—just a screwdriver will do. It's recommended to change the filter every year or every 10,000 kilometers. Otherwise, the air from the AC might carry a dusty smell, which can affect your driving mood. I always make sure to clean it on time, which improves the air quality inside the car. Even on long trips, I don’t have any allergy issues. The key is saving money and time—a good-quality filter only costs a few dozen yuan, which is half the price compared to getting it done at a 4S shop.
