You could do a search to find this frequently asked question to get a complete DIY.
On the W209 model and probably the same on the earlier 208 model, remove all dirt/debris and just carefully lift the cover vertically. It is held on by a number of plastic pegs that sit in rubber sockets. Have a clean rag at the ready to cover the engine air intake which is at the rear center of the engine.
You will also need a torx screwdriver to remove the two filters from the housing. Be sure to blow and wash the entire assembly off before replacing.

just put your hands on either side of the airbox and PULL UPWARDS! It clips onto these rubber mounts so you have to tug a little. Disconnect the hoses (they just slide on, friction fit). Then you just go inside to the AC and remove some torx screws on the underside to change the filters.
