They will produce particles such as dust and grime that will go into the air filter and cause it to clog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a clogged cabin air filter, the lack of airflow can be felt at the dashboard vents. It will result in lacklustre defrosting and defogging performance and reduce air-conditioning and heating functionality. A clogged cabin air filter will further reduce air-conditioning functionality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Therefore, we advise keeping your car in a clean condition.
