Has the interior of your vehicle started to smell musty?\u00a0You\u2019re not sure where the smell is coming from, but you have to do something \u2013 no one wants to travel with you!<\/p>

The solution to the problem can be as easy as changing the vehicle\u2019s cabin air filter.\u00a0Cabin air filters?\u00a0What are you asking?<\/p>

Most people are aware that the engine has an air filter that prevents dirt and debris from entering the engine.\u00a0Did you know that your car\u2019s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system has a cabin air filter?<\/p>

The vehicle\u2019s engine air filter ensures that clean air reaches the engine.\u00a0Clean air is essential for the vehicle to operate efficiently.\u00a0A cabin filter performs the same function for the vehicle\u2019s HVAC system.\u00a0Prevents dirt, dust, pollen, and bacteria from entering the car\u2019s ventilation system.\u00a0A cabin filter also prevents leaves, insects, and other debris from entering the HVAC system.\u00a0It keeps the air inside the vehicle cool, which means you and your passengers can breathe easy.<\/p>

The air filter should be replaced every 15,000 km or every 6 months.\u00a0If you drive in heavily polluted areas or travel on dirt roads, consider changing the cabin filter every 8,000 kilometers.\u00a0If you suffer from allergies, you should consider changing your cabin air filter more frequently to ensure air quality.<\/p>

Changing your vehicle\u2019s cabin filter is an easy job that most people can do.\u00a0Continue reading onlearn how to replace it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Find the cabin filter in your car.\u00a0The location of the cabin air filter may vary from vehicle to vehicle.\u00a0In some cars it is located under the hood, while in others it is behind the glove compartment or under the dash.\u00a0Your vehicle owner\u2019s manual will tell you where it is located.\u00a0You can also ask a mechanic or other trusted professional to\u00a0\u00a0show you where it is.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Once you have located the cabin air filter cover, remove the fasteners or screws and nuts that hold the cover.\u00a0Remove the cap and remove the filter.\u00a0Look at the filter to see if it needs to be replaced or if it will last a few more miles.\u00a0If it is completely saturated, it is time to replace it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Clean the cover compartment.\u00a0Before installing the new cabin air filter, it is worth cleaning the cover compartment and the air intake duct.\u00a0Use a vacuum cleaner to clean up dirt and debris.\u00a0Wipe the inside of the air filter chamber with a cloth to remove any dirt.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Install the new cabin air filter.\u00a0Simply insert the cabin air filter in the same place where the old filter was\u00a0\u00a0(NOTE: make sure to install the filter in the correct direction of airflow)<\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Replace the cover and the removed screws or fasteners.\u00a0If you had to remove the glove box or dash to access the cabin air filter, put them back in place by reversing the steps you took to remove them.\u00a0And that\u2019s it!\u00a0You and your passengers will breathe fresh air, and you\u2019ll feel good knowing you\u2019ve saved money by not having the dealership or a mechanic change it for you.<\/p>
