Replacing cabin air filter in
Replacing cabin air filter in Toyota Prius Hybrid is very easy. In this video, young mechanic Aiman will show you how to change the filter yourself.
Cabin air filter is the most neglected periodic maintenance item for car owners. In this video, Aiman will show you and explain the importance of why you always check your cabin air filter, and replace them from time to time.
The cabin air filter, a feature found on most late-model vehicles, cleans the air that comes into the interior through the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system. The primary purpose of an air filter is to prevent dust, mold and other pollutants from entering the cabin. It catches dust, pollen and other airborne material that can make riding in a car unpleasant, particularly if you have allergies or other respiratory problems.
One of the most common indications of a bad air filter is a moldy or musty smell when the heat or air conditioning is on. A dirty filter can not only reduce produce a poor smell in the cabin, but it can also reduce the power output from the engine. This is because the AC blower motor can’t work as effectively because it’s clogged.
How often should it be changed? How long does Toyota Prius Cabin Air Filters normally last? It will depend on how much you drive and where and whether the driver or any of the passengers smoke cigarettes inside the car.
f you drive in heavy traffic in an urban area that has poor air quality, you could need to replace the cabin air filter annually or even more often. However, that also could be true in a desert climate where there is a lot of dust to filter out. Most manufacturers recommend changing the air filter every 15,000-25,000 miles or once a year. When in doubt, check your vehicle’s manual.
You can easily replace the cabin filter yourself. Many cabin air filters are located behind the glove box and are easily accessible by freeing the glove box from its fasteners; the instructions should be in your car's owner's manual.
In the next video Aiman will show you how to replace the cabin air filter on a 2009 Toyota Prius, but the general idea should be the same for most modern cars.
Other cabin air filters are located under the dashboard and may not be easy to reach, or under the hood where fresh air enters the climate control system. Some of these air filters are expensive — as in $50 or more at dealerships — so you could save money by buying a replacement at a parts store or on ebay or amazon.com.
