Where is the Renault Koleos cabin air filter located?
2 Answers
Renault Koleos's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. The cabin air filter serves the following 5 functions: 1. Ensures tight sealing against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. Filters out solid particles from the air such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles; 3. Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone and maintains persistent moisture absorption, while also eliminating odors, carbon oxides, SO2, and CO2; 4. Prevents windshield fogging to maintain clear visibility for safe driving, provides fresh air to the cabin, protects occupants from inhaling harmful gases, ensures driving safety, and effectively sterilizes and deodorizes; 5. Maintains clean cabin air free from bacterial growth, creates a healthy environment, efficiently blocks pollen to prevent allergic reactions that could compromise driving safety.
When dealing with the Renault Koleos' cabin air filter, I found it located right behind the glove box. You'll need to remove the glove box first to access it. The specific steps are: open the glove box, apply slight pressure to both sides to release it, then you'll see a small cover - opening that reveals the filter. I've done this several times in my car, and it's quite simple - no tools required, just bare hands will do. Just remember to buy the correct filter model that matches your vehicle. The Koleos typically uses activated carbon filters, which are great for dust prevention and odor removal. In areas with poor air quality, replacing it once can last you half a year. As cars age, accumulated dust can affect AC airflow, so addressing it early can even save you some fuel costs.
