Each car owner monitors the comfort of movement in his car. A very important component of this comfort is air entering the interior by means of a filter. The state of the cabin filter affects the heater's robot or air conditioner. If the cabin filter has not changed for a long time, the air intake will decrease, and when the heater is working, it is possible to fog windows in winter. As for the summer period, the air conditioner will work inefficient.
