The air we breathe is directly tied to the state of our health.  Nowhere is that more important than when you are commuting in your vehicle.  That’s because you are exposed to the outside air, which can include fumes, pollen, dust and other airborne impurities.  While in your vehicle, the air is only as clean or fresh as the cabin air filter the air is routed through.  CardinaleWay Mazda Salinas wants to make sure you breathe the cleanest air possible, and recommends you bring your vehicle to our Service department and let us replace your cabin air filter.

How The Cabin Air Filter Works

The air filter works by filtering or cleaning the intake of air before it enters the cabin of your vehicle.  Air enters the vehicle by way of the heating, air conditioning and ventilation system.  Pollutants from the outside environment are filtered by the air filter.  Over time, however, the cabin air filter may become dirty or clogged and need replacing in order the keep the air fresher.

 

When To Replace The Cabin Air Filter

Refer to your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for specific recommendations on when to replace your cabin air filter.  We recommend that the cabin air filter be replaced every 12-24 months.  However, there are some signs that you should watch for that indicate it’s time to replace the cabin air filter.  If you do an excessive amount of driving, drive in heavy traffic, or in a smog-filled city, pay attention to signs that your cabin air filter is becoming ineffective.  If you notice a bad odor in your vehicle when you turn on the air, or if there is suddenly more noise coming from the fan of your vehicle, it’s time to make an appointment with our Service department.
