When issues arise with the quality of the air that flows in your Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep model, you’ll know it’s time to have your cabin air filter replaced. Stop by Cook Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Cleveland so that our team of experienced technicians can help you.
Purpose
When exploring Southeast Texas, you will likely come across an instance where a variety of particles will attempt to enter the cabin. This often includes dirt, dust, and pollen. The last of which can be especially harmful if you suffer from allergens depending on the time of year. Because your vehicle’s interior acts as a closed environment, these elements can quickly collect and make it difficult to inhabit. That’s why a cabin air filter acts as a shield between you and the outside world, keeping out these contaminants while letting in fresh air. While it is typically built to last quite a while, it will eventually become clogged and need to be replaced before you can continue your rides along I-69.
Cabin Air Filter Types
Before you schedule a service appointment to get a new cabin air filter, we’d like to guide you through the various options you will have at your disposal. The particulate edition will perform the roles mentioned prior, simply keeping out any particulate matter that would otherwise hinder your journeys. The carbon-activated filter takes this up a notch, since it is able to keep out even foul odors on your drives. One of the biggest issues for filters is the accumulation of mold and mildew, as this can quickly wear away at their surface. If this is often an issue for your Wagoneer or Ram model, we recommend springing for an anti-microbial variant. We’d like to mention that we only used genuine Mopar® parts at our dealership, so you don’t need to worry about receiving a less-than-stellar component.
Warning Signs
There are a myriad of red flags that will begin to show once your cabin air filter is no longer in good enough condition to support your endeavors. This can include hints such as a weaker flow of air coming from the air conditioning system. This can also be followed up by the sound of squeaking, or even a foul odor beginning to fill up the cabin. These are all signs that the filter has become clogged with debris and needs to be replaced. Be sure to take a look at the surface of your dashboard as well, as a layer of dust will indicate that it is not doing as good of a job at keeping contaminants out. Stop by our nearby Service Department when this begins to occur!
