Troubleshooting

Reduced airflow from HVAC vents.

Check if the cabin air filter is clogged. Replace the filter if it is dirty or blocked. Ensure the filter was installed correctly with the proper airflow direction.

Unpleasant odors inside the cabin.

An activated carbon filter helps eliminate odors. If odors persist, the filter may be saturated and require replacement. Ensure there are no other sources of odor within the vehicle's HVAC system.

Filter does not seem to fit correctly.

Double-check the vehicle's make, model, engine type, and year against the filter's compatibility specifications. Confirm that you have the correct filter part number (LAK232 or its cross-references).
