The engine air filter sits inside a sealed rectangular airbox in the engine bay, and the cabin air filter is typically behind the glove box.

The airbox cover is secured with clips or fasteners and channels intake air through the filter before it reaches the turbo. The cabin filter is accessed by removing a trim panel near the glove box area on most GLS configurations. If you prefer professional installation with OEM parts and leak-checked housings, schedule service with us in Lynnfield.

• Engine filter: sealed airbox ahead of the engine
• Cabin filter: access panel near/behind glove box
• Service location: 385 Broadway (Route 1 North), Lynnfield, MA 01940

The engine air filter protects the 3.0L turbo inline‑6 intake, while the cabin air filter cleans the air your passengers breathe through the HVAC system.

Each filter serves a distinct purpose: engine filtration helps performance and efficiency; cabin filtration supports comfort and reduces particulates entering the vents. Both should be inspected on schedule and replaced with genuine parts for proper fit and seal. For upkeep aligned with Mercedes-Benz guidance, schedule service at our Lynnfield facility.

• Engine filter = intake protection and efficiency
• Cabin filter = cleaner in-cabin air and HVAC airflow
• OEM fitment helps ensure proper sealing and flow

Engine: reduced power, lower fuel economy, or rough idle; Cabin: weak airflow, fogged windows, or a musty odor.

If you notice these symptoms, a quick inspection can confirm whether the filter media is loaded or improperly seated. Continued driving with a restricted engine filter can stress the intake system; a clogged cabin filter can strain the blower and reduce comfort. Our technicians can inspect, replace with OEM parts, and check the intake housing and MAF sealing—book a schedule service slot.

• Possible MAF or airflow fault codes if severely restricted
• Dark, debris-laden filter media on visual check
• Quick appointments available via our online scheduler

Yes—the engine air filter is often DIY-friendly, but the cabin filter can require trim removal and careful fitment.
