Do our Scion Toyota 86 have a cabin air filter ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys do you know if our car does have a cabin air filter filtering air coming from the outside? cause whenever I don't push the air recycle button, it's like the air from the outside it's not being filtered. Maybe the deal forgot to add it on the pre inspection . any ideas? it should come like all cars with an activated carbon air filter.
tnx

Yes it's behind your glove box. Review your manual

Yup I knew about that filter it's for AC. I know some cars do have an external activated carbon filter.. do you know if the glove box filter it's the only one ?

The one behind the glove box IS the cabin filter.

So that filter should filter all the air from the outside? cause I didn't feel it was in fact filtering any odors. when the button was set no to recycle the inside air.

A cabin filter doesn't get rid of odors, just dust...

dssence · 02-02-2014, 02:37 PM

well I know most expensive cars do have an active carbon filter which filters odors as well , not sure about scion or subaru but they should.

I drive a 2011 M3 and it doesn't filter odor, neither does my mother's lexus.

Wow damn so I would one of the fewest persons on earth which modded my old toyota celica 79 with an external carbon active filter. on the outside. Filters every single odor from the outside. I thought these cars even expensive ones did have an external filter on the outside.. not talking about the AC filter.

Nothing will filter a skunk lol. Not sure I've ever been concerned otherwise of outdoor smells.

I've never heard of that either. Where I live, even if our filters did filter out odor, there's no filtering these dairies!
