So it's a good thing this example speaks for itself. There is very little room to doubt that this particular cabin air filter is simply no longer up to the task of protecting the passengers of this vehicle and has obviously not been check or changed in quite some time. We recommend regular car servicing by reputable mechanics to ensure things like this don't get overlooked.

Designed to filter out pollen or other contaminants whilst absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases, cabin air filters have the task of preventing such toxins from entering the cabin of a vehicle - which is basically the air you and your passengers breathe.

But if these filters are not checked and changed on a regular basis the build up of filtered debris begins to impact the volume of filtered air entering the vehicle cabin and the filters become less effective at their primary role.

You might be tempted to try and replace your own cabin air filters but there are a few reasons why you should consider this approach very carefully.
