This helps clear the intake outlets ofsnow and moisture, and reduces the chance offogging the inside of the windows. Keep the air path under the front seats clear ofobjects. This helps circulate air throughoutyour vehicle.Passenger Compartment Air FilterThis ventilation system includes a charcoal air filter thathelps to remove dust, pollen, etc. from air flowing intoyour vehicle.
