Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air filter removes certain
odor and particles from the air including pollen and dust
particles. Reductions in airflow, which may occur more
often in dusty areas, indicate that the filter may need to
be replaced. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4
for information on how often to replace the filter.
Notice: Driving without a passenger compartment
air filter in place can cause water and small
particles, like paper and leaves, to be pulled into
your climate control system which may cause
damage to it. Make sure you always replace the old
filter with a new one.
The passenger compartment air filter is located on the
passenger side of the engine compartment near the
battery. See Engine Compartment Overview on
page 5-12.
To check or replace the air filter, do the following:
1. Disengage the passenger compartment air filter
housing cover retainer clips (A).
2. Remove the passenger compartment air filter
housing cover.
