it's easy to check. Turn on your car and change to recirc mode then turn it off.

Check cabin filter door -- it should be open allowing you access to the filter

Turn on car and change to fresh air mode -- the cabin filter door should have closed

if it works, then you're golden and the smell by the farm is because your cabin filter probably doesn't have activated charcoal in it. Are you just using recirc or also the pollen filter button?

Just recirc......the pollin mode lasts for like 10 minutes and then shuts off....I never use it bc it seems pointless lol. But still in recirc mode I shouldn't be able to feel or smell anything coming in. I'll check the filter...I thinks that's weird though because it is the same filter I have used in previous cars with no issues.....oh well.
