The cabin air filter is crucial to your car’s heating and cooling system. It prevents dirt, mold, pollens, and other pollutants from entering the cabin, allowing you to enjoy clean and healthy air inside your vehicle. Over time, your cabin air filter will become clogged with contaminants and need replacing.
In this guide, our team at Champion Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT will discuss the best time to change your Wrangler’s cabin air filter and how you can do it yourself.
Replacing your filter is important to keep your car’s air-free of particles that can affect your health or ruin the driving experience. Here are a few signs that your cabin air filter is due for replacement:
Generally, it’s recommended to change your car’s cabin air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 or every 1 to 2 years. However, you may need to change it more frequently if you live in a dusty or congested area with poor air quality.
If your car’s interior starts to smell bad, it may be the right time to change your cabin air filter. Pungent odors are one of the tell-tale signs of a blocked cabin air filter. When this occurs, you should take your Wrangler to a Jeep service center to thoroughly clean the vents. If the foul smell persists, have the cabin air filter replaced by a trusted mechanic.
Poor airflow can also indicate a faulty cabin air filter. Dust accumulation and other particles near the vents can reduce airflow into the cabin. So, if you are getting an unsatisfying gust of wind inside your car despite setting the fan speed to the maximum, it’s time to replace your cabin air filter.
If your filter is already too dark or dusty, replace it to improve the quality of air you breathe in the cabin.
Replacing your cabin air filter is a straightforward task. Follow the steps below to swap out the old filter in your vehicle.
The cabin air filter is usually found behind the glove box. You may need a screwdriver or socket set to open the glove box. Check your owner’s manual to know the location of the glove box and how to remove it.
Press down the tabs on both sides of the glove box inward to access and remove the cabin air filter.
Insert the new cabin air filter into the housing. Ensure the arrows of the airflow on the new filters point in the right direction (downward). Then, close the glove box.
