The primary purpose of cabin air filters, located on most vehicles since 2000, is keeping the air inside your vehicle’s cabin clean.

It’s typically located behind the glove compartment or under the hood or dashboard on most modern vehicles.

The filters can also catch rodent droppings, leaves and other unwanted debris.
