Where is the Peugeot 508 air conditioning filter located?

Peugeot 508 air conditioning filter is located at the bottom of the center console next to the accelerator pedal. When replacing the air conditioning filter, you need to first unscrew the central screw on the cover plate with a T20 screwdriver, then use both hands to pull the upper and lower sides of the plate towards the front of the car to remove it. Only after removing the cover plate can you see the installation position of the air conditioning filter. A feature of the Dongfeng Peugeot 508 is its rich configuration, especially in the two high-end models. The high-end models are equipped with features such as an electric sunroof, cruise control system, four-zone automatic air conditioning, a wide-screen multimedia navigation system, InfoDrive system integrated control knob, and Bluetooth hands-free phone.
The cabin air filter of the Peugeot 508 is located near the footwell area on the passenger side. You'll need to lower your head to look above the floor mat, under the windshield, where there's usually a plastic cover panel. I've replaced it several times myself - first use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the small screws on the cover panel, then carefully pry open the clips to reveal the filter. The whole process isn't too strenuous, but be careful not to disturb the wiring inside as it may affect AC operation. I recommend replacing the filter every six months or 10,000 km, especially for drivers like me who frequently travel on dusty roads - you'll notice significantly fresher air afterward. Also, keep a flashlight and gloves handy for safety and convenience; don't skip this step to avoid inhaling dust. DIY replacement saves labor costs and helps you better understand your vehicle's condition.
