The cabin filter serves the purpose of removing contaminants from the outside air that enters the cabin interior when the fan is operational. The air flows through a permeable media material designed to capture dirt and other particles present in the air. Over time, these filters become clogged as contaminants accumulate on the filter media. A worn-out cabin air filter will result in less effective air purification and a noticeable reduction in air flow.

Replacing your cabin air filter takes just a few minutes and contributes to safeguarding your lungs by ensuring clean air within your vehicle's interior. If you observe reduced airflow from your climate control vents while driving, it's advisable to inspect the filter. Generally, it's recommended to replace the filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, or if you notice it's dirty during an inspection. For a precise service interval, consult your owner’s manual.
