Mahle CareMetix Cabin Filter LAO173/S (BMW)

MAHLE cabin filters: clean air, safe driving

MAHLE cabin filters reliably supply the driver and passengers with clean air. They reduce dust on the dashboard and in the cabin, and avoid dangerous fogging of the windows. They also reduce the load on the blower and protect the HVAC system from contamination. Irreparable damage can occur to the air conditioning or heating system. The replacement intervals recommended by vehicle manufacturers should therefore always be followed.

CareMetix—for all-round well-being

Who's in the car, needs clean air to ensure a safe and concentrated participation in the traffic–and to feel comfortable. The air we breathe is, however, often loaded with harmful and allergenic substances and odors, which conventional filters can not eliminate.

The solution: Our world first CareMetix with S5 broadband technology—5 layers provide 5-fold protection

Odor filtration you can experience

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

Protection against soot and fine particulates

Due to exhaust gases coming from the vehicle in front, the air at the centre 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 mould

Mildew and mould 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 mould spores, but also prevents mould build-up on the filter itself. CareMetix with S5 broadband technology is fully effective against mould—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.

Time for a change

So that you and your loved ones breathe in only goodness: ask for CareMetix. During your annual filter replacement or at least every 15,000 kilometres travelled—for noticeably improved well-being in your car.

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