Where is the cabin air filter located in the 408?

408 cabin air filter is located on the left side of the passenger glove box. The replacement process for the cabin air filter: First, locate the position of the cabin air filter, then pull off the rubber strip, use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the four plastic clips, and then you can remove the cover plate. Next, the old filter can be taken out and replaced with a new one. There is an arrow indicator on the cabin air filter; the arrow should point downward during installation, and it must not be installed backward. The Peugeot 408 features an innovative 6X safety system, which comprehensively addresses the safety of both the driver and passengers. This system includes the EVA emergency braking assist system, Bosch 8.1 version ABS anti-lock braking system, EBD electronic brake-force distribution, TSC traction control, ESP electronic stability program, and more.
I've been driving a Peugeot 408 for several years and have replaced the cabin air filter several times myself. The filter is located in the footwell area on the passenger side. Just bend down and look for a rectangular cover, which may have some screw clips. Gently pry it open, and you'll find the filter inside a sliding drawer. If you frequently drive with windows open or during rainy seasons, it's recommended to replace the filter every six months to keep the air fresh inside the car and prevent odor buildup that could affect breathing. For the first-time operation, prepare a small flashlight and a Phillips screwdriver, and be gentle to avoid cracking the plastic parts. Once you get the hang of it, it's quite convenient. I often save money while ensuring my car is in good condition. When replacing, choose OEM-compatible filters to ensure the filtration efficiency isn't compromised.
