Where is the cabin air filter located in the Peugeot 4008?

The cabin air filter of the Peugeot 4008 is positioned behind the glove box. It is recommended to replace the cabin air filter every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers of driving. The Peugeot 4008 is a compact 5-door, 5-seater SUV with the following dimensions: length 4510mm, width 1850mm, height 1628mm, and a wheelbase of 2730mm. It is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power output of 125 kW and a peak torque of 250 N·m. The vehicle features front-wheel drive configuration, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
As a long-time owner of the Peugeot 4008, I've replaced the cabin air filter several times myself. The filter is tucked away in a rather hidden spot behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to remove the glove box first - there are two or three clips inside that require a bit of finesse to pop open. Once you see the HVAC blower, the rectangular plastic cover next to it houses the filter. Remember the filter comes in two pieces (upper and lower), and the arrow direction must face downward during installation, otherwise it affects filtration efficiency. I recommend changing it twice a year - before summer and before winter - to ensure clean airflow from the AC. DIY replacement saves money but takes some time, while dealerships charge around 100+ RMB for labor.
The air filter for the 4008 is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. There's a bit of a trick to removing the glove box—I usually start by emptying everything inside, then press both sides inward, and the glove box naturally drops down. At this point, you'll see a cover with clips behind it. Pry open the cover to pull out the old filter. Be mindful of the filter's orientation; installing the new one backward can affect airflow. Also, filters come in several materials: standard paper ones are cheaper but less effective at filtering, while activated carbon ones are pricier but can eliminate odors. I replace mine every 10,000 kilometers, or more frequently if driving on construction sites.
