The air filter is the lung of your car engine, so just like you need to breathe to keep you alive your car needs it to move.That’s why it’s extremely important to regularly inspect and change your engine and air conditioning filters to ensure optimum engine operation for hundreds of thousands of miles and comfort within the vehicle.

The function of the air filter is to protect the engine by retaining the impurities of the air flow entering the engine. The air filter is placed in front of the engine air inlet and thus ensures the good quality of the air-fuel mixture that integrates the cylinders through the valves.

These filters only offer optimum protection when they are regularly replaced. The ventilation capacity decreases as the filters become dirty throughout their useful life. Cabin air filters should be changed in accordance with the recommended service intervals. In areas with high levels of contamination (e.g., industrial polygons, large agglomerations), a more frequent filter change is also advisable apart from the usual range.

Why should the cabin air filters be changed periodically?

• Poor hygienic conditions
• Unpleasant odor changes
• Discomforts such as headaches and dizziness
• Reduced fresh air intakes mean lower performance of heating and air conditioning systems
• Remember to change the cabin air filters at least once a year.
