Replacing the cabin air filter (Opel Astra J)

To clean the air supplied to the passenger compartment from dust contained in the outside air, a filter with a replaceable paper filter element is installed in the heating, air conditioning and ventilation system.

The manufacturer prescribes replacing the cabin filter after 15 thousand km of mileage or after 1 year (whichever comes first). Under severe operating conditions, the filter must be checked every 3 months or 5 thousand km and the filter must be replaced every 6 months or 8 thousand km.
