The cabin air filter in a 2017 Peugeot 408 is located inside the plastic panel on the left side of the front passenger's leg area. Here are some important notes regarding cabin air filters: 1. Generally, the cabin air filter should be replaced approximately every 8,000 kilometers to ensure optimal performance of the vehicle's air conditioning system. 2. The location of the cabin air filter varies depending on the vehicle model, so it's essential to consult the owner's manual before attempting replacement. 3. Cabin air filters can be cleaned, which naturally helps reduce vehicle maintenance costs.
I remember the cabin air filter for the 2017 Peugeot 408 is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Last time I replaced it myself, I had to remove the entire glove box first - just press the clips on both sides gently to release it. Looking inside, there's a rectangular plastic cover panel. Lifting this panel reveals the filter's housing. When pulling out the old filter, it was completely covered in dust and leaf debris. When inserting the new filter, make sure the arrow points downward, otherwise it affects filtration efficiency. The whole process takes about ten minutes, and you can immediately feel fresher airflow after replacement. The biggest advantage of DIY replacement is saving around a hundred yuan in labor costs, but beginners should be gentle when removing the glove box as the clips are prone to breaking.
