In fact, filters perform different tasks, and for good reason, the article should have been divided into two, but since the amount of information is not so large, and the amount of work performed is not so large, we decided not to “spread” everything into topics, but yet combine everything in one material. Moreover, every 3 maintenance is carried out with the simultaneous replacement of these two filters. So, for the cabin air filter, replacement is carried out every 10,000 km, and for the engine filter, every 30,000 km, throughout the entire operation of the car.
Why is the filter so important?
Replacing the old Rav 4 cabin filter from 2014 with a new one must be done in accordance with the regulations, since this is an important element.
When operating in rural areas or in the city, polluted air, dust, and exhaust gases enter the vehicle interior. This is harmful to the health of passengers and the driver.
The cabin filter in a 2015 Toyota Rav 4 consists of three or four layers:
- The first holds large pieces of debris and dirt.
- The second prevents the entry of microorganisms and fine dust.
- The third stabilizes air filtration.
High-quality components are equipped with an additional carbon layer that protects against harmful impurities. The filter also prevents exhaust gases from entering the car.
Replacement interval for the "salon" Rav 4
According to the regulations, the cabin filter in the RAV 4 must be changed every 10,000 km of driving, i.e. approximately once every 12 months.
But these are not strict standards. If the dust collector is not seriously dirty, it is blown out and put in place, and you can drive with it for up to 15,000 km .
To check the degree of contamination of the air cleaner , you need to clean the glove compartment and remove it from the clips. Then pull out the cabin air filter and inspect the part on both sides.
After this, you can conclude whether the Rav 4 cabin filter needs to be replaced. If it is slightly dusted with dust, it is often blown out and put back in place. If it is filled with dirt, insects, and plant debris, then the need for replacement is obvious.
Folks, can you tell me if there is a cabin filter on the first rafik and if so, where is it located?
I searched hard and couldn’t find it; according to the books, it doesn’t seem to be in the first RAV4. :-((
There is no relative. Putting sipron on the suction is a cheap way out.
More specifically.
