Cabin air filters – how to choose a filter for your car?

A cabin filter, also known as a pollen filter, cleans the air entering the passenger compartment through the ventilation and air-conditioning system. It captures dust, pollen and some fine particles. A clogged or worn filter may reduce airflow, make window demisting more difficult and reduce driving comfort.

Standard or activated-carbon cabin filter?

• Standard filter: captures solid particles such as dust and pollen according to the capabilities of its filtering material.
• Activated-carbon filter: in addition to particle filtration, it may reduce certain odours and gaseous pollutants. Effectiveness depends on its design and quality.

How often should a cabin filter be replaced?

Follow the vehicle manufacturer's service interval. Inspect the filter at routine service, or more frequently in dusty conditions, heavy city traffic or with intensive air-conditioning use. An unpleasant smell from the vents can also indicate that the air-conditioning system needs attention.

How to check compatibility?

Do not select a filter by its dimensions or appearance alone. Verify the make, model, production year, ventilation system variant, part number and any cross-references. A single vehicle model can use different filter shapes and mounting arrangements. The range includes FILTRON cabin filters; verify the exact part number against your vehicle application.

Keep the filter housing clean during replacement. See air-conditioning cleaning products for ventilation-system care. The filter cannot replace proper ventilation-system maintenance.
