[DiRiley]

mini's cabin air filter is located beneath the glove compartment, whereas in most Japanese vehicles it's typically found inside the glove box. The cabin air filter serves to filter dust, pollen, soot, abrasive particles, ozone, odors, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, benzene, and other pollutants. It absorbs particulate matter, alleviates respiratory discomfort, reduces irritation for allergy sufferers, enhances driving comfort, and protects the air conditioning cooling system. Functions of the cabin air filter: 1. Ensures the filter fits snugly against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. Separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air; 3. Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., with strong and long-lasting moisture absorption; 4. Prevents condensation on car windows, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers, thereby enhancing driving safety; 5. Provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety; 6. Effectively sterilizes and deodorizes.
