What is the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?

• Both filters serve different systems and should be inspected separately by certified technicians to ensure optimal vehicle operation and occupant comfort.
• Stevinson Hyundai uses OEM parts, documents inspections, and honors warranties; any warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to retain coverage.
• Book service online to have both filters inspected: schedule service and view available service specials.

What are signs of a bad air filter?
