Signs Your Cabin Air Filter Requires Inspection

It’s time to have your cabin air filter inspected when:

  • You notice reduced airflow through your HVAC system, resulting in more noise than effective heating or cooling.
  • There’s a persistent unpleasant odor inside your vehicle
  • Foggy and icy windows take longer to clear

Why Replacing a Vehicle’s Air Filter is Essential

Schedule an inspection of your car’s air filter if:

  • Your fuel efficiency has declined, indicating that your engine is compensating for lower oxygen levels by consuming more fuel.
  • Your engine exhibits vibrations or coughing noises (pay close attention while you wait at a stop light, and any sounds coming from your engine will become noticeable), which can be signs of restricted air intake.

Cabin and air filters are engineered to ensure your vehicle functions as intended by collecting dirt and other pollutants. We conduct inspections and replace air filters to maintain proper airflow and efficiency. Book an appointment today at our Mitsubishi service center in Jacksonville, NC!

Q. How can I tell if my cabin air filter requires replacement? It’s recommended to replace the cabin air filter once or twice a year, depending on your driving conditions and location. There are some noticeable signs that indicate the need for earlier replacement:
  • Musty or moldy odor in the cabin
  • Reduced HVAC effectiveness
  • Diminished overall air quality
  • Poor airflow
  • Delayed clearing of foggy or icy windows
  • Unusual noises or vibrations from the vents
Q. Can I replace the air and cabin filters on my own? Yes, vehicle owners can replace air and cabin filters themselves. However, it’s crucial to consult the vehicle’s manual for precise instructions and to make sure you use the correct filters. Quick step-by-step guide-
