For the 2016 Chrysler Town and Country, the engine filter keeps dust and road debris out of the intake and combustion chambers; the cabin filter traps pollen, dust and exhaust particles before they reach passengers. Both filters affect performance: a clogged engine filter can reduce power and economy, while a clogged cabin filter reduces HVAC airflow and can cause odors.
- Engine filter protects the intake and engine components from debris.
- Cabin filter protects passengers from dust, pollen, and particulates.
- Both should be inspected regularly, especially in dusty conditions.

Common signs include reduced engine power and lower fuel economy for the engine filter, and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors for the cabin filter.
