Default When does the cabin filter do its job?
Only while the A/C is on? Only when its on recirculate?


Thanks

I'd imagine all the time - even when its off since the car has passive venting - doesn't all air entering the cabin first travel through the filter?

I think air passes through it all the time except recirculate.

If the fan is running, its drawing air through the filter. Recirculate cuts down outside air flow, but I would guess that even on recirculate, the air goes through the filter.
