MAINTENANCE

Air Intake

The air intake in front of the windshield
in the engine compartment must be kept
clear to allow air intake.
Remove any leaves, dirt or snow.

A/C Mesh Filter

The filter prevents dust, particles, leaves,
etc. from entering vehicle through air
intake.
Note
We recommend that you consult your
authorized CHEVROLET retailer to
clean or replace the filter.
Caution
More frequent maintenance of the A/C
filter is required if the driving
circumstances are dusty roads, air
pollution areas, and frequent unpaved
roads.
It makes the filter efficiency to be
decreased.
