FILTRON K1223A Heating

FILTRON K1223A Heating Cabin Air Filter

The FILTRON K1223A is a high‑performance cabin air filter designed to keep the interior of your vehicle clean, fresh and healthy. It combines advanced particulate filtration with activated carbon technology, ensuring that dust, pollen, odors and harmful gases are effectively removed before they reach the passenger compartment.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dual‑Stage Filtration: The filter uses a pre‑filter to capture large particles such as dirt and debris, followed by a fine filter that traps microscopic contaminants like pollen, mold spores and airborne bacteria.
• Activated Carbon Layer: Integrated carbon media neutralises unpleasant smells from cooking, exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Long‑Lasting Performance: Designed for extended use, the K1223A maintains airflow efficiency for up to 12 months under normal driving conditions.
• Universal Fitment: The compact dimensions (260 × 225 × 45 mm) allow installation in a wide range of vehicles, including popular models from Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Opel, Saab and Vauxhall.
• Easy Installation: No tools required – simply slide the filter into place and secure it with the built‑in latch mechanism.
