Abstract

A heating and/or air-conditioning device for a motor vehicle comprises a casing (12) housing a motor-driven fan unit (16) suitable for impelling a flow of air and a removable air filter (28) suitable for filtering the impelled airflow. The casing (12) is arranged in the passenger compartment (H) of the vehicle along the bulkhead (14) separating the engine compartment (CM) from the passenger compartment (H), and provision is made for the bulkhead and the casing to include respective access apertures (32, 30) arranged facing one another in order to allow the filter (28) to be withdrawn out of the casing through the engine compartment, exchanged if appropriate and re-inserted into the casing.
