To ensure a constant flow of clean air in the climate control system of the Mercedes A-Class, change the filter according to the maintenance schedule, or sooner if you frequently drive on particularly dusty roads. Open the hood of the engine compartment; you will find the filter box on the driver's side, near the firewall, protected by a cover that you will open by releasing the retaining clips.

Access the cover by operating the side tabs, pull out the old filter, check that there is no dirt left inside the box, and insert the new filter element. Close the cover and reattach the cover in its place.
