2 Answers
Open the engine hood, locate the front engine decorative panel, and after removing it, you will find the cabin air filter of the Mercedes-Benz GLK300. Below are the functions of the car cabin air filter: 1. It can filter out dust, pollen, and other particulate impurities from the air. 2. It provides fresh air inside the vehicle, preventing passengers from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. 3. It absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and other substances from the air. 4. It effectively sterilizes and deodorizes, ensuring clean air in the cabin without breeding bacteria. 5. For urban household vehicles, it is recommended to replace the cabin air filter every 10,000-20,000 kilometers or approximately once a year.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz GLK300 for several years now, and the location of the cabin air filter is right behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat—it's pretty easy to find. When you sit in the passenger seat and open the glove box, you'll usually see some plastic clips or support rods. With a gentle press or by unscrewing a few screws, you can either remove the entire glove box or tilt it backward, revealing the filter housing behind it. The design is quite good—unlike some cars where you have to dismantle the dashboard, which is a hassle. I’ve replaced it myself a few times; you can just buy the filter on Taobao—just make sure to get the right model. The GLK300’s filter size is standard, and I recommend replacing it every two years. Or, if you notice a dusty or pollen-like smell in the car, replace it earlier to keep the air fresh and healthy—no more coughing while driving. Wear gloves during the process to avoid dirtying the interior. It takes about half an hour to finish, saving you the hassle of waiting in line at the dealership. All in all, DIY is simple and cost-effective, and regular maintenance keeps the AC system running smoothly.
