Where is the Renault Koleos cabin air filter located?

Renault Koleos cabin air filter is located inside a black box at the front right of the engine. The cabin air filter, commonly known as the pollen filter, functions to purify the air entering the vehicle interior from outside, improving air cleanliness. It typically filters impurities in the air, including microscopic particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust gases, and dust. The Renault Koleos measures 4672mm in length, 1843mm in width, and 1685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2705mm. It is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV featuring a CVT transmission (simulating 7 gears) and naturally aspirated engine.

I've been driving my Renault Koleos for almost three years now, and I've replaced the cabin air filter myself several times. It's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You need to carefully open the glove compartment door, release two clips inside, then pull inward to reveal the cover panel where the filter is hidden. Remember to turn off the AC before starting to prevent dust from entering. I recommend replacing it every six months or annually, especially during spring and summer when pollen levels are high. It's an easy job that doesn't cost much but effectively prevents odors and allergic reactions in the car. I suggest using genuine OEM filters or reputable brands - don't cheap out on inferior products as they can affect respiratory health. After replacement, the air inside becomes noticeably fresher, making driving more pleasant. Doing it yourself saves about a hundred bucks in labor fees, and all you need is a screwdriver.

As a car enthusiast, I always enjoy studying the little details of vehicles. The cabin air filter of the Renault Koleos is located on the inner rear wall of the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, first empty the glove box, then press the side clips to remove it. Inside, you'll find a plastic cover—lift it to reveal the filter. Having replaced it multiple times, I've noticed it has two layers, so make sure not to install it backward. The filter plays a crucial role in blocking dust and PM2.5, protecting respiratory health, especially when using the AC during smoggy days. It's advisable to replace it during seasonal transitions, opting for an activated carbon variant for better filtration. I always keep a spare in my car—replacing it myself takes just ten minutes, and it's a good opportunity to tidy up the glove box. Developing this habit helps prolong the car's lifespan.

At first, I was always afraid of breaking things when replacing parts myself, but the cabin air filter location on the Koleos is incredibly simple - it's right inside the glove compartment on the passenger side, near the footwell area. After opening the compartment, just press the left and right clips firmly to release them, and you'll feel the small cover panel with the filter tucked inside. All you need is a screwdriver for tools. Beginners, don't panic - just work gently. If you install the filter backwards, it won't fit properly. After replacement, you'll notice significantly increased airflow. It's cost-saving and easy to learn - just check the manual or follow online videos first, and you'll master it after doing it once.
