Where is the cabin air filter located in the Mercedes-Benz GLK300?
2 Answers
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.
