To replace the cabin air filter in a Mercedes-Benz ML, access the compartment located under the passenger side of the dashboard or, depending on the version, at the base of the windscreen in the engine bay. After removing the protective panel or the filter cover, extract the old filter element, paying attention to the airflow direction.

Before installing the new filter, it is advisable to clean the housing of any dust and dirt residues.

Insert the new element, ensuring it follows the orientation indicated by the arrows printed on the filter. Finally, refit the cover, replace any panels removed, and check the correct operation of the ventilation and air conditioning system.
