Reasons to change your air filter
It is important to change the cabin air filter of your 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG for a few reasons:
- Extending the life of the HVAC system: The cabin air filter also helps to keep the heating and air conditioning system running smoothly, which helps prolong the life of the system.
- Improved engine performance: A clean air filter allows for a sufficient amount of air to reach the engine, which can improve overall performance and fuel efficiency.
- Improving the air quality outside the car: A clean air filter can also help improve the air quality outside the car by reducing the emissions of pollutants.
- Protecting the engine: A dirty or clogged air filter decreases the airflow to the engine, which can damage the engine over time.
- Cleaner air quality inside the car: The cabin air filter helps to remove pollutants, dust, and other allergens from the air inside the car, which improves the air quality for the passengers.
By changing the air filter on a regular basis, you can ensure that your Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG engine and HVAC system are running efficiently, and that the air inside and outside the car is clean and healthy.

If you drive in a highly polluted area, or in an area with high levels of dust, pollen, or other allergens, it may be necessary to change the filter more frequently. Similarly, if you frequently drive on dirt or gravel roads, or if you use your 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG for off-roading, the filter may need to be changed more often.
It’s also important to pay attention to these indicators that the filter needs to be changed, such as:
- Increased dust and debris inside the cabin
- Odd smells coming from the vents
- Reduced airflow from the vents
