Why is there no cabin air filter on a 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

Not all 2002 Chrysler PT Cruisers came without a cabin air filter. Whether or not your specific PT Cruiser has one depends on the trim level and possibly even the build date within the model year. Some 2002 models *did* include a cabin air filter, while others did not. Chrysler may have phased them in during the model year, or they were simply an optional feature on certain trims.

If you're unsure, the best way to know is to:

* Check the owner's manual: This will specify if your vehicle was equipped with a cabin air filter and where it's located if so.

* Look for the filter location: The filter (if present) is typically located behind the glove box, under the dashboard, or near the blower motor. Searching online for "2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser cabin air filter location" with images may help you identify the possible spot.

If you can't find it and your manual doesn't mention it, it's highly likely your particular vehicle wasn't equipped with one from the factory.
