Passenger Compartment Air
Filter Replacement
Passenger compartment air, both outside and recirculated
air, is routed through a passenger compartment filter,
-
which is part of a two piece filter system. The filter
removes certain contaminants from the air, including
pollen and dust particles, as well as odors such as exhaust
or fuel fumes. Reductions in airflow, which may occur
more quickly in dusty areas, indicate that the filter needs
to be replaced early. For how often to change the air
filter, see "Scheduled Maintenance" in the Index.

filter is located in the back of the glove box.
