2-PC Cabin Air Filter with Activated Carbon — Fitment, Specs & Replacement Guide
Premium fine particle cabin filter designed for Mercedes GLE / GL / GLS and ML series — activated carbon layer for odor and gas adsorption.
Overview
This 2-piece cabin air filter with activated carbon provides fine particle filtration and improved interior air quality for a wide range of Mercedes-Benz models. The activated carbon layer helps reduce unpleasant odors and captures gaseous contaminants, while the fine particle media filters dust, pollen, and other airborne particulates before they enter the cabin HVAC system.

Installation Tips
- Locate the cabin filter housing (commonly behind the glove box or under the windshield cowl — check your owner’s manual).
- Turn off the vehicle and remove any covers or fasteners to access the filter housing.
- Remove the old filter, paying attention to orientation arrows for airflow direction.
- Install the new filter(s) with the correct airflow orientation. Ensure the activated carbon side faces the cabin direction if marked.
- Reassemble the housing and test the HVAC system for proper airflow.
If you’re unsure, consult a professional mechanic or your vehicle’s service manual for model-specific instructions.
Maintenance & Replacement Guidance
For optimal performance and air quality, replace the cabin air filter approximately every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Heavy urban driving, dusty roads, or frequent driving in high-pollution areas may require more frequent changes. Signs you should replace the cabin filter sooner include reduced HVAC airflow, persistent cabin odors, or increased dust accumulation inside the vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does the activated carbon remove all odors and gases?A: Activated carbon helps absorb many common odors and some gaseous contaminants, but it does not remove all chemicals or provide the same protection as specialized gas-phase filters designed for toxic gases.
Q: Are both filters needed in the package?A: Many modern vehicles use two cabin filters (primary and secondary) or a single assembly containing two panels — the packaged pair ensures you have the correct components required for the vehicle’s HVAC housing.
Q: How can I confirm fitment for my specific model and year?A: Always verify the part number, dimensions, and housing style against your vehicle’s service documentation or contact the seller/manufacturer with your vehicle’s VIN for exact compatibility.
