Renault ZOE – Innenraumfilter wechseln (Anleitung)

Regularly replacing the filter keeps the air in your Renault ZOE clean, ensures the air conditioning works efficiently, and prevents your windows from fogging up. In these instructions, you’ll learn how to easily replace it yourself in just a few minutes.

Quick Check

Time required approx. 5-10 minutes
Difficulty Easy
Installation location Passenger footwell
Tools No tools required (optional pry tool)
Compatible filter EDOC-1005
Airflow toward the rear (in the direction of the rear of the vehicle)
Manufacturer interval every 30,000 km or 12 months
EV-DOC recommendation every 15,000-20,000 km or 12-18 months

Preparation

  • Secure the vehicle: Make sure the vehicle is secured in Park (P), completely deactivated (ignition/system off), and that the ventilation/air conditioning is switched off.
  • Protection & hygiene: Place a mat or cloth under the work area to catch falling dirt. Safety glasses and a respirator protect you from falling dust and pollen. It is best to have a vacuum cleaner ready to vacuum out the housing before installation.
  • Lighting: Since the installation location is usually dark, we recommend using a headlamp or flashlight for the best possible visibility.
  • Tools: You do not need any tools for the replacement. An optional plastic pry tool can help remove the footwell side panel.
  • Access: The filter is located in the passenger footwell, on the left beneath the glove compartment at the center console. Slide the seat all the way back and recline the backrest as far as possible to create maximum working space.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Locate the filter housing in the footwell
    Lean into the passenger footwell and look to the left beneath the glove compartment toward the center console. There you will see the vertical filter housing cover.
  2. Open the filter housing cover
    Gently press the retaining tab at the lower end of the cover upward or together, then pull off the cover.
  3. Remove the old filter
    Grip the old cabin air filter by the edge or pull tab and pull it backward out of the slot.
  4. Insert the new filter
    Carefully slide the new cabin air filter into the slot. If necessary, gently compress it at the sides so that it slides in smoothly.
    ↔ Airflow: The arrows on the side of the filter must point backward (toward the rear of the vehicle)!
    💡 Pro tip: Make sure the filter does not become misaligned during the final few centimeters. It must disappear completely into the slot so that the housing cover can snap back into place without pressure!
  5. Close the housing
    Place the housing cover back on at the top and press it down firmly until the retaining tab audibly clicks into place.

Disposal instructions

To ensure that all materials from your filter change are recycled as effectively as possible and that the cycle remains closed, please dispose of them as follows:

  • Used filter: As the old filter is heavily contaminated with pollutants, particulate matter and soot, it should be disposed of in the general waste. Through thermal recovery in modern facilities, useful energy (electricity and district heating) is still extracted from it.
  • Shipping box: It’s best to put the grass paper box in the waste paper bin so that the fibres remain in the recycling cycle. Alternatively, you can dispose of it on your own garden compost heap.
  • Filter bag: The plastic-free pouch for your new EV-DOC filter is made of paper and should also be placed in the waste paper bin.
  • Labels & backing paper: You do not need to remove stickers from cardboard before putting it in the waste paper bin – they are automatically recycled along with the paper. However, if you are composting the cardboard, please remove the labels first. Individual labels and backing paper should be disposed of in the general waste because of the adhesive.
