The cabin air filter in the Mercedes-Benz GLK is located above the footwell on the passenger side, and it can be seen after removing the cover panel. The general replacement interval for the cabin air filter is every 10,000 kilometers. Below is an introduction to replacing the cabin air filter: 1. If the airflow from the air conditioner is significantly reduced, the cabin air filter may be clogged. First, clean the filter or replace it if necessary. 2. The frequency of cleaning depends on road conditions (such as dusty roads, etc.). It is recommended to clean it earlier. 3. The cabin air filter should be correctly installed in its position. Using the air conditioner when the cabin air filter is removed may degrade dust-proof performance and affect the air conditioner's performance.

I've located the cabin air filter on my Mercedes GLK300 several times, and its position is quite clear: it's in the footwell area on the passenger side. Open the glove compartment, and you'll find a plastic cover or panel inside. Unscrew a few small screws, and the filter will be visible. When I replaced it myself, I used a Phillips screwdriver and got it done within 5 minutes. I recommend buying the correct matching model beforehand; Mercedes-specific filters are generally easy to find online. The placement is well-designed to avoid crowding on the driver's side, but be careful with your knees when bending down—laying down a mat makes it more comfortable. Check the filter every 15,000 kilometers or so; replace it if it's too dusty to keep the cabin air fresh and maintain good anti-allergy effects.

Last time my friend's car had weak air conditioning airflow, I helped him replace the air filter in his Mercedes-Benz GLK300. The filter is located under the dashboard in front of the front passenger seat. Open the glove compartment, feel inside, and you'll find a plastic cover that needs to be removed. Use a screwdriver to take out two small screws, and the filter is hidden behind it. The replacement is simple, but it might feel a bit cramped the first time, especially for taller people who need to bend down. I recommend bringing a small light to illuminate the area to avoid fumbling around. Regularly changing the filter can save a lot of trouble. Like my friend who neglected it once, his car developed a musty smell. This design is quite clever—it doesn't take up space in the driver's position and ensures easy maintenance of core components.

The air filter for the Mercedes-Benz GLK300 is located in the footwell area on the passenger side. After opening the passenger door, crouch down to look at the bottom of the glove box, where a plastic cover needs to be removed. Simply unscrew the screws to take out the filter—only a standard screwdriver is needed. The location is convenient, and the replacement takes about 10 minutes. Even beginners can handle it by following the car manual instructions. Remember to choose the correct filter size to avoid insufficient airflow.
