Cabin Air Filter Assembly — Breathe Cleaner, Drive Better ️

This cabin intake filter keeps dust, pollen, soot, and road odors out of your HVAC box and your lungs. It sits ahead of the evaporator/heater core so all incoming air is scrubbed before it reaches the vents. Built to precise OE dimensions, it slides into the cowl cassette and seals the frame, forcing airflow through the pleated media for reliable filtration with low restriction.

Why it’s needed ️

Clean cabin air improves comfort and safety. A healthy filter protects the blower and evaporator from debris, keeps defogging quick, trims HVAC noise, and reduces allergens inside the car. It also helps prevent mold growth on the core.

How it works

High-surface-area pleats capture fine particles (down to PM levels) while maintaining steady airflow. The rigid perimeter and correct depth prevent bypass leaks and rattles. Install direction follows the “airflow” arrow for proper sealing.

If clogged or damaged ⚠️

Expect weak airflow, noisy fan, musty smells, slower A/C cooling, foggy windows, and extra load on the blower motor. The evaporator can foul faster, raising repair costs. Replace every 12 months or 12–15k miles (sooner in dusty or urban traffic).
