Yes, a clogged cabin air filter can negatively impact both comfort and health:

Reduced Airflow: Decreases the efficiency of the HVAC system, making heating o r cooling less effective.

Bad Odors: Trapped dust, mold, o r bacteria can cause unpleasant smells inside the cabin.

Allergy and Respiratory Issues: Pollutants and allergens trapped in a dirty filter may circulate inside the car, aggravating allergies o r respiratory problems, especially in polluted cities like Karachi o r Lahore.

Foggy Windows: Poor airflow can increase humidity, causing windows to fog up more easily.

Regular replacement of the cabin air filter every 15,000 to 20,000 kilometers o r annually is advisable to maintain air quality and passenger comfort in Pakistani cities.
