A Pollen filter also known as (cabin air filter) is like a tiny bodyguard for your car’s interior! Its job is to trap harmful pollutants, dust, pollen, and other unpleasantries before they reach your lungs. Here’s a quick rundown:

What it does:

• Filters the air entering your car through the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.
• Traps dust, pollen, smoke, smog, and even some bacteria.
• Helps improve air quality inside the car, especially important for allergy sufferers.
• Can also trap unpleasant odors.

Where it is:

• Usually located behind the glove box, but the exact spot can vary depending on your car model.
• Check your owner’s manual for its specific location.

When to replace it:

• Most manufacturers recommend replacing it every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, or once a year.
• If you drive in dusty or polluted areas, you may need to replace it more often.
• Signs it needs replacing include reduced airflow, musty odors, or worsening allergies inside the car.

Overall, a cabin air filter is a small but important part that helps keep your car’s interior clean and healthy. Replacing it regularly is an easy way to ensure you and your passengers breathe fresh air on the go!
