Cabin Pollen Filter — The Overlooked Maintenance Item
The cabin filter cleans the air entering the cab. A clogged filter reduces airflow, mists up windows, and can harbour mould and bacteria.
The cabin filter (pollen filter) traps dust, pollen, and pollution particles from the air entering the vehicle interior. When it becomes clogged, airflow from the vents is noticeably reduced, windows may mist up more quickly because the demister is less effective, and the trapped debris can harbour mould spores and bacteria that produce unpleasant odours. For drivers who spend many hours on the road, a clean cabin filter contributes to a healthier and more comfortable working environment. It is an inexpensive item that should be replaced at least once a year — ideally every full service.
Key takeaways
- Reduced vent airflow and misting windows are signs the cabin filter is blocked
- A clogged cabin filter can harbour mould and bacteria, causing unpleasant odours
- Replace the cabin filter annually — it is inexpensive and improves cab comfort
