Access typically requires removing the plastic engine cover and unclipping the airbox lid to inspect or replace the media element. The airbox houses the intake element that protects the twin-turbo intake tract on the GLS’ 4.0L V8.

The cabin air filter for the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS is located behind the glove compartment or under the cowl panel at the base of the windshield.
Replacement often involves opening the glove box or removing trim panels to reach the HVAC intake housing. The cabin filter conditions passenger air and is sized for the vehicle’s multi-zone climate system.
- Found in the HVAC intake area behind the glove box or under the cowl.
- Access can require trim or glove-box removal on some model configurations.

What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS?
The engine air filter protects the engine’s intake path for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans incoming air for passengers and HVAC components.
On the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS the engine element keeps dust and debris out of the twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8, supporting horsepower and fuel economy; the cabin element removes pollen, dust, and particulates from interior airflow.
- Engine filter: protects turbochargers, MAF sensor, and combustion quality.
- Cabin filter: protects occupants and HVAC evaporator from particulates and odors.
- They are separate components with different form factors and access points.
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS?
Engine-filter symptoms include reduced acceleration and poorer fuel economy; cabin-filter symptoms include weak HVAC airflow and musty or stale odors.
Because the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS uses a high-performance V8 and advanced climate systems, both filter types affect comfort and drivability. Early detection avoids stress on turbochargers and maintains interior air quality.
- Engine: reduced throttle response, lowered mpg, occasional rough idle under load.
- Cabin: reduced blower output, unusual odors, or increased dust on vents.
- Dealer inspection can confirm filter condition and rule out related component issues.
Can I replace the air filter on my 2022 Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS myself, or should Mercedes-Benz of Tampa do it?
