2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Air Filter in Sudbury, MA

They’re under the hood in a sealed airbox (engine) and behind the glove box (cabin) on a 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class.

The engine air filter sits in a rectangular housing within the engine bay to protect the 4.7L twin-turbo V8’s intake. The cabin filter is typically accessed through a panel behind or below the glove box to clean HVAC air for passengers. If you prefer professional service, schedule an appointment with Mercedes-Benz of Sudbury.

• Engine filter: sealed under-hood airbox with clips or screws
• Cabin filter: access panel near the glove box area
• Keep debris out of the airbox when opening the housing

The engine air filter screens combustion air for the 4.7L twin-turbo V8, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.

A clean engine filter supports performance and efficiency; a fresh cabin filter improves airflow and helps reduce dust and odors in the interior.
