How Does the Cabin Air Filter Work?
In most vehicles, the cabin air filter is located behind the glovebox and is made from an engineered material or paper-based multifiber cotton. These materials along with the pleated design of the filter are what traps harmful materials and contaminants before they reach the cabin of your vehicle. Since the filter catches contaminants, a buildup of these materials will increase over time and the filter won’t be as effective. Therefore, it’s necessary to replace the cabin air filter occasionally.
Why It’s Important to Have a Clean Air Filter
As we mentioned above, the cabin air filter of a vehicle was created to prevent harmful materials from reaching the air you and your passengers breathe in your vehicle. It’s especially crucial for people with certain medical conditions such as allergies or asthma to be able to breathe in clean air. A cabin air filter helps to protect your respiratory system and your overall health.
Your health is the most important reason to have a clean air filter, but it isn’t the only reason. The HVAC in your vehicle is also protected by the cabin air filter. A burnt-out blower motor can be the result of a clogged filter because it causes the A/C system to work harder than it’s meant to. A dirty filter can also cause a decreased amount of airflow in the cabin, which can result in condensation and fog on the windshield that can lead to visibility issues.
Signs That Your Cabin Air Filter Should Be Replaced
Keep an eye out for these signs of a clogged or ineffective cabin air filter:
• You notice an unpleasant smell coming from your vehicle’s air vents
• A strange sound that occurs when you turn on the A/C
• Weaker airflow even when the A/C is on its highest setting
If you notice any changes in your vehicle, take it to a professional like the technicians at Toyota of Poway’s service center so you can rest assured that your Toyota Camry is safe and performing at its best.
