keeping the internal air clean with climate A/C
I was wondering how the climate filters the dust pollution pollen etc.. basically clean the interior air I would say, which definitely makes it more comfortable on driving and keep the interior clean as well, although i don't understand, the actual filtering of pollen pollution etc, it's actually working just when the A/C is on Am I correct? I live in NYC now and I'm just considering to keep it on all year around since all dust and pollution that there is here!! although I m an old fashion driver that especially when the engine is cold or for short period of drive, would not like to have it on. How do you guys use it?

You have a cabin filter, that filters the air as it goes through your system. Located under your glovebox. I myself added extra air filtration units in my car as Hong Kong is quite smoggy and I will have a baby in the car.

The Climate Filters filter any air that is drawn in from the outside through the outside air vents, whether the A/C is on or off.
I think your belief that it will keep the interior clean is a bit of a stretch. Every time you open the door to get in or out, dirt and dust is dragged in.
