Technical Specifications

Performance Benefits

The CUK 26 010 filter offers a range of tangible advantages for drivers and passengers:

• Improved Cabin Air Quality: Captures up to 99.9% of airborne pollen, dust, and particulate matter.
• Odor Reduction: Activated charcoal adsorbs volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and unpleasant smells from exhaust gases and the external environment.
• Enhanced HVAC Efficiency: Low pressure drop keeps airflow steady, preventing sluggish heating or cooling performance.
• Long‑Term Reliability: Robust construction resists moisture buildup, reducing the risk of mold growth inside the filter housing.

Installation Guide

1. Locate the cabin air filter compartment beneath the glove box or behind the dashboard panel.
2. Open the cover and remove the old filter by sliding it out from the side.
3. Align the new CUK 26 010 with the airflow arrows on the housing, ensuring the charcoal layer faces outward toward the cabin.
4. Slide the filter into place until it clicks or locks securely.
5. Close the cover and test the HVAC system to confirm proper operation.

Maintenance Tips

• Replace the filter every 12–15 months, or sooner if you drive in dusty or polluted conditions.
• Inspect the filter housing for moisture or debris before installation to avoid contamination.
