What Does a Cabin Air Filter Do?

So, what does a cabin air filter do while you drive around Winnipeg? A cabin air filter cleans the air entering your vehicle’s ventilation, heating, and air conditioning systems, keeping pollen, dirt, and other pollutants from getting inside your cabin. Over time, this will get clogged, which impacts your vehicle’s interior air quality.

• Reduced airflow when your climate control systems are on
• You’re noticing more dust than usual setting on your vehicle’s surfaces
• There are lingering odors inside your car

How To Change a Cabin Air Filter

3. Wear gloves and a mask when removing the dirty air filter.
4. Place your old filter in a garbage bag, and replace it with a new Mercedes-Benz OEM part, ensuring it’s the right fit. You can order your cabin air filter online from our parts centre.
