Question: What is a cabin air filter and where is it located?
Description: A CABIN AIR filter is used to clean incoming air for the
car's HVAC system. Introduced in European vehicles, cabin air filters are now becoming common on more domestic and Asian makes
and models. Some examples include the Ford Taurus, Contour, Windstar and Ford trucks; the Chevrolet Impala, Monte Carlo, Suburban,
Tahoe and Silverado; and the Lincoln Navigator. Japanese cars such as the Honda Accord and Odyssey, and the Acura RL and TL
use cabin filters. To date, approximately 40% of cars have cabin air filters, but the number grows each year.
Purpose:
The cabin air filter helps trap pollen, bacteria, dust, and exhaust gases that may find their way into a vehicle's ventilation
system, making the interior of the car a healthier place. These filters were introduced in high-end European cars in the late
1980s, and are now becoming popular in most new vehicles. Many people are unaware that these filters exist, and thus do not
know when and how to change them.
Maintenance Tips/Suggestions: Cabin air filters should
be replaced according to owners' manual guidelines, usually every 15,000 miles. It's not uncommon, however, for cabin air
filter replacement to be overlooked in the owner's manual. Do not try to clean this filter and reinstall it. For best results,
consult filter manufacturer application charts to see if your car is listed. Most filters are accessible through an access
panel in the HVAC housing, which may be under the hood or in the interior of the car. Some filters require basic hand tools
to remove and install the filter; others just require your hands. If neglected, a restricted cabin air filter can impair airflow
in the HVAC system, possibly causing interior heating and cooling problems.
