National Press Release

HOPKINSVILLE, Ky., June 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Expanding its coverage of cabin air filters for more than 315 vehicle applications from 44 different automotive and heavy duty truck manufacturers, Freudenberg Nonwovens has just released its latest micronAir(R) cabin air filter product catalog for customers.

This complete product guide serves as a reference for those replacing or utilizing cabin air filters on a regular basis and makes ordering and restocking fast, efficient and easy. For each make and model listed, customers can find the item number and filter type needed, the required number of filters and filter location for that particular vehicle, along with the approximate install time.

The catalog offers filters for most vehicles originally equipped with a cabin air filter -- from model year 1990 through 2008. New applications for 2008 include: Acura RDX, Audi (RS4, R8 and Q7), Honda Accord, Hyundai Entourage, Lexus RX350, Maybach (57 and 62), Nissan (Altima, Rogue & Sentra), Scion (xB and xD), Toyota FJ Cruiser, Toyota Highlander and Volkswagen Eos.

Also available is a poster of applications for heavy-duty trucks that showcases 40 applications of cabin air filter and bunk filters for major heavy-duty truck models. The poster provides a quick reference for users -- which are especially helpful now that 60 percent of all new Class 8 heavy-duty trucks come equipped with a cabin air filter.

The new micronAir catalog and heavy-duty application poster are available by visiting www.micronair.us or calling 1-800-542-2804.

Manufacturers recommend that vehicle owners change cabin air filters regularly -- every 10,000-12,000 miles. With drivers spending more and more time on the road, concern about the cabin environment inside a vehicle and its effects on the health and safety of drivers and passengers is on the rise among consumers.
