Volvo Cabin Air Filter - Mahle CareMetix 30780377

Cabin air filter for vehicles with IAQS (Interior Air Quality System). Vehicles without AQS use 30780376

Mahle CareMetix is a new line of premium carbon activated air filter, designed with an additional bio-layer. It is ideal for people that are very sensitive to air quality and require a high level of filtration. Because of the several compounding layers of different filter media, Mahle CareMetix fiters are stiffer than traditional filters and may require extra steps to install without damaging.

Odor Filtration

Traffic jams, tunnels, large construction sites, water treatment plants, and freshly fertilised fields—all these are sources of unpleasant, pungent ammonia and sulphur gases, which, until now, you have been exposed to in your car. The new CareMetix® cabin filter provides protection through S5 broadband technology—and removes precisely these unpleasant odors. And it works: not just in the laboratory, but also on the road—tried and tested in everyday conditions

Protection against pollen

Airborne pollen in the spring is a source of discomfort for more and more people—causing headaches, watery eyes, runny noses, and irritated skin. Protect yourself whenever you’re in your car: with CareMetix®. The innovative cabin filter with S5 broadband technology provides 5-fold protection—even against allergens that conventional filters can’t block out.

Protection against soot and fine particulates

Due to exhaust gases coming from the vehicle in front, the air at the center of the roadway is up to six times more polluted than at the side of the road. With the innovative CareMetix® cabin filter, the vehicle cabin remains almost entirely free of fine particulates, tyre debris, brake dust, and exhaust gases. The S5 broadband technology also protects against micro-particulates and diesel soot—and preserves the sensitive components in the HVAC system from premature wear.

Protection against mold

Mildew and mold spores are everywhere—including in the air we breathe. They spread rapidly, particularly in wet and warm weather. That’s why you need a cabin filter that not only protects you against mildew and mold spores, but also prevents mold build-up on the filter itself. CareMetix® with S5 broadband technology is fully effective against mold—and therefore makes an essential contribution to the well-being of all passengers.

Protection against bacteria

Some bacteria can make us ill. With its highly effective S5 broadband technology, CareMetix® removes harmful micro-organisms and prevents them from spreading throughout the filter material, thanks to its anti-bacterial coating. The innovative filter thus protects the health of all passengers—in every season.

Mahle recommends replacing your cabin air filter every 10,000 miles, or annually, whichever comes first.

When a vehicle is in operation, more than 100,000 liters of air are swept into the cabin every hour. The only barrier against pollution: the filter in the ventilation system
