What Does a Metris Air Cabin Filter Do?
There are all sorts of contaminants in the air, like dirt, dust, and pollen. The cabin air filter acts as a barrier to prevent these contaminants from entering your vehicle as you drive around Huntington Beach. The Metris cabin air filter works hard to clean the air that comes through from outside and filter out the particles you don’t want to breathe in. Like any type of filter, it will eventually become clogged and need to be replaced.
When to Change Your Metris Cabin Air Filter
Unsure of how often to change the air cabin filter in your Metris Van? If you adhere to the recommendations below, you should always be able to swap your filter before you start to experience any unwelcome odors or allergies while driving to Laguna Beach:
- Under extreme conditions, Mercedes-Benz recommends changing the cabin air filter every 10,000 miles. “Extreme conditions” could apply to high-mileage driving, as well as driving in dusty areas like job sites or unpaved roads. If you’re often stuck in traffic, this could be another reason to replace the filter more frequently, as the pollution levels are higher in traffic.
- Under normal conditions, you will likely only need to replace the Metris air cabin filter every 15,000–30,000 miles.
