Renault Koleos cabin air filter is located at the rear of the glove box on the passenger side. The method for replacing the cabin air filter is as follows: 1. First, open the glove box cover. 2. Locate the fixing buckle on the right side of the glove box and pull it outward with force. 3. Remove and detach the fixing buckle of the glove box cover. 4. Take off the glove box. 5. Remove the cover plate. 6. Pull out the old cabin air filter outward. 7. Install the new cabin air filter. The functions of the Renault Koleos cabin air filter: 1. It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. 3. It absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, with strong and lasting moisture absorption. 4. It prevents the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for the driver and passengers. 5. It maintains clean air in the cabin, preventing bacterial growth.
I've been driving a Renault Koleos for several years, and the cabin air filter is hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Replacing it is actually quite simple: first press both sides of the glove compartment inward, then the entire compartment can be lowered to reveal a rectangular cover plate. Remove the cover to pull out the old filter, and insert the new one by aligning it with the slots—remember to position the arrow facing downward or toward the rear of the car to avoid installing it backward. I make it a habit to replace it every 10,000 kilometers to ensure the air from the AC stays fresh and the cabin air remains clean. The best time to replace it is before summer use, as it helps filter out pollen and dust. I prefer doing it myself with an activated carbon filter, which costs around 50 yuan—way cheaper than going to a 4S shop—and it's a good opportunity to tidy up the glove compartment as well.
