Original MANN-FILTER Interior Filter CUK 2722-2 – Cabin air filter set

Overview of the Original MANN‑FILTER Interior Filter CUK 2722‑2

The Original MANN‑FILTER Interior Filter CUK 2722‑2 is a high‑performance cabin air filter designed specifically for select Mercedes‑Benz models, including the S‑Class (W221), C‑216, and other luxury passenger cars. It is engineered to provide superior protection against airborne contaminants such as dust, pollen, and odours, ensuring a clean and comfortable driving environment.

Key Features

• Activated Carbon Layer: The filter incorporates an activated carbon layer that adsorbs volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and neutralises unpleasant smells.
• High‑Efficiency Particulate Filtration: The pre‑filter captures larger particles, while the main filter stage removes fine dust and pollen down to 0.3 µm, meeting stringent automotive standards.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑quality, non‑woven polypropylene and reinforced with a protective backing, the filter resists moisture and maintains airflow over extended periods.
• OEM Compatibility: Identical to the original equipment (OE) filter, it guarantees a perfect fit and preserves vehicle performance.
• Easy Installation: The filter comes in a convenient set of two, allowing for quick replacement without the need for special tools.

Design and Dimensions

The CUK 2722‑2 measures 263 mm in length, 184 mm in width, and 30 mm in height, matching the exact cavity dimensions found beneath the glove compartment of compatible Mercedes‑Benz models. Its compact profile ensures that it fits seamlessly into the existing filter housing without requiring modifications.

Performance Benefits

• Improved Cabin Air Quality: By trapping allergens and pollutants, the filter reduces the risk of respiratory irritation for occupants.
• Enhanced HVAC Efficiency: A clean filter allows the heating, ventilation, and air‑conditioning (HVAC) system to operate at optimal airflow rates, improving climate control performance.
• Long‑Term Reliability: The activated carbon layer extends the filter’s effective lifespan by preventing rapid saturation from odour‑producing substances.
• Noise Reduction: The filter’s design minimizes turbulence, contributing to a quieter cabin environment.

Installation Procedure

1. Locate the Filter Housing: Open the glove compartment and remove any covers to expose the filter slot beneath.
2. Remove the Old Filter: Gently pull the existing filter out of its housing. Dispose of it responsibly.
3. Insert the New Filter: Align the new CUK 2722‑2 with the airflow direction indicator (usually marked on the filter). Slide it into place until it clicks securely.
4. Reassemble the Glove Compartment: Replace any covers or panels that were removed during access.
5. Verify Functionality: Start the vehicle and check that the HVAC system operates normally. No unusual noises or reduced airflow should be present.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection: Check the filter every 12,000 km or annually, whichever comes first. Replace if it appears visibly dirty.
• Avoid Forced Air: Do not use compressed air to clean the filter housing, as this can damage the filter media.
• Store Properly: Keep spare filters in a dry, cool place to preserve the integrity of the activated carbon.
