Introduction

The cabin air filter in a car is designed to remove pollutants from the air that is contained inside your vehicle, typically behind the glove box. Changing your cabin air filter regularly is important to ensure that you continue to breathe clean air while you drive, as they collect particles and dust, the filter’s capacity to filter more out becomes diminished.

Before beginning, consider bringing a trash bag with you do discard the older filter into to avoid getting any debris on you or your vehicle.
