Which way does the filter face during installation?

Troubleshooting

Reduced airflow from the vents

The filter may be saturated with debris. Remove the filter to check for heavy buildup and replace it if clogged.

Unpleasant odors remain in the cabin

Ensure the filter is seated correctly in the housing with no gaps; if odor persists, the HVAC system may require a disinfectant treatment.

Filter does not fit the housing

Verify the vehicle compatibility list and ensure you are not installing it in the wrong orientation or a different filter slot.

Pros and Cons

  • Precise dimensions ensure an airtight fit
  • Effective barrier against road pollutants and allergens
  • Straightforward installation process for DIY mechanics

Cons

  • Activated carbon filters may slightly reduce airflow compared to non-carbon variants

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the BFC1186, locate your vehicle’s cabin air filter housing, which is typically found behind the glove compartment or under the cowl at the base of the windshield. Once accessed, remove the old filter, clean any debris from the housing tray, and insert the new BFC1186, ensuring the orientation arrows match the airflow direction. It is recommended to inspect the filter every 6 months or 7,500 miles, and replace it annually or according to the vehicle manufacturer’s service schedule. Avoid using compressed air to clean this filter, as it can damage the internal media structure and reduce filtering effectiveness.
