Where is the AC Filter?

Hi everyone, so now when I go to start my 97 460 the dash display tells me to service the "AC FILTER"

What and where is that?

We are not talking about the engine air filter I assume, so it has to be either Cabin Air Filter in the glove box OR is it the little filter under the driver's seat?

I have not had the seat air conditioning turned on since September and I replaced the Cabin Air Filter back in August.

Any ideas of what I am supposed to do?

It's telling you to change the cabin filter behind the glovebox. BE SURE TO PUT THE SYSTEM INTO RECIRCULATE MODE BEFORE REMOVING THE FILTER OR YOU'LL DAMAGE THE SYSTEM.

That filter is the easiest to change of any car I've owned. So simple.
