Where is the engine air filter located on a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class?

In the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, the engine air filter sits inside a sealed air box in the engine bay ahead of the engine.

This enclosed housing draws outside air through the filter before it reaches the 2.0L inline-4 intake. Access typically involves releasing clips or screws and lifting the air box cover. If you prefer professional service, our Lynnfield team can replace the filter and verify the air box seal to help maintain proper airflow and performance for local commutes and I‑95/Route 1 drives.

  • Open the hood and locate the rectangular air box upstream of the throttle body.
  • Release fasteners, lift the lid, and remove the used filter carefully to avoid debris fall-in.
  • Install an OEM-spec element and ensure the lid is evenly seated and sealed.
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class in Lynnfield, MA?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove box in the HVAC housing.

This microfilter cleans air before it enters the vents, which matters during New England pollen spikes and winter traffic with windows closed. Access may require removing trim and lowering the glove box. If you prefer a no-hassle appointment in Lynnfield, we’ll replace the filter and check airflow through the ducts for quiet, consistent operation.

  • Empty the glove box and carefully lower or remove it to access the filter door.
  • Slide the old filter out slowly to minimize dust release into the cabin.
  • Install the new element in the correct orientation and resecure panels.
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class?

The engine air filter protects the 2.0L inline-4 from intake debris, while the cabin air filter cleans air for passengers through the HVAC system.

Both are essential, but they serve distinct systems. The engine filter helps safeguard combustion efficiency and throttle response, while the cabin filter reduces dust, pollen, and road odors inside the SUV. For North Shore driving, using OEM-spec elements preserves proper fit, sealing, and low noise. Our Lynnfield service team can replace both in one visit for convenience.

  • Engine filter: located in the engine bay air box, upstream of the intake.
  • Cabin filter: located behind the glove box in the HVAC housing.
  • Use Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts to match factory airflow and filtration.
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class?

Engine filter symptoms include reduced power, lower fuel economy, and rougher idle; cabin filter symptoms include weak airflow and musty odors.

On Boston-area routes, construction dust, road salt residue, and seasonal pollen can load filters faster. If you notice delayed acceleration or increased fan noise without strong airflow, its time for an inspection. We can evaluate both filters during a single appointment and advise on next steps based on condition.

  • Engine performance feels sluggish or the throttle response is muted.
  • HVAC blower speed increases but vent airflow is limited.
  • Persistent dust inside the cabin or a stale odor from vents.

Dealer service also includes gasket inspection and a visual MAF check. If you want convenience and documentation, schedule service at Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield.
