Correct answer

  • ASí, sobre todo al inicio de la primavera, ya que su capacidad de retención es limitada.Yes, especially at the start of spring, because its ability to hold particles is limited.
Explanation

The passenger compartment filter holds back pollen, dust and other particles in the air coming into the vehicle, but its capacity is limited. It is advisable to replace it regularly, especially before spring, when there is more pollen. It does not clean itself and it is not checked at the ITV.
