CLEAR THE AIR

What is an interior ventilation filter?

The interior ventilation filter in your Subaru plays an essential role in filtering the air entering the car’s cabin to keep out pollen, dust, dirt, fungus spores and other air borne particles that are particularly prevalent during spring. However, over time the filter becomes dirty and clogged with these pollutants, which reduces its performance and effectiveness.

In fact, when this filter is not operating at its peak, the level of pollutants inside your car can actually increase. This can result in the driver and passengers breathing in stale, dirty air which may contribute to driver fatigue and in some cases cause allergic reactions or asthma.

That’s why Subaru recommend that your interior ventilation filter be changed every 15,000kms or at least once a year.

However, because this filter is located out of sight, behind the dashboard, it is often out of mind too. But by requesting your filter be replaced annually, at one of your scheduled services, you’ll effectively be spring cleaning the air inside your Subaru.

The result will be a cleaner and more comfortable environment for all, and one in which you can breathe easy.
