Air Conditioning Filter, Drive Belts
Air Conditioning Filter
The air conditioning filter removes
pollen and dust that is brought in
from the outside through the heating
and cooling system/climate control
system.
This filter should be replaced every
30,000 miles (48,000 km) under
normal conditions. It should be
replaced every 15,000 miles (24,000
km) if you drive primarily in urban
areas that have high concentrations
of soot in the air from industry and
diesel-powered vehicles. Replace it
more often if air flow from the
heating and cooling system/climate
control system becomes less than
usual. Have the air conditioning filter
replaced by your Honda dealer.

Check the condition of the two drive
belts (power steering belt and

of each belt for cracks or fraying.
Check the tension of the power
steering belt by pushing on it with
your thumb midway between the
pulleys.
The belt should have the following
"play" or deflection.
Power steering belt:
0.51 — 0.65 in (13.0 — 16.5 mm)
If you see signs of wear or looseness,
have your dealer adjust or replace
the belts.
