Passenger Compartment Air Filter - Chevrolet 2007 Monte Carlo Owner's Manual

Passenger Compartment Air Filter

This vehicle has a passenger compartment
particulate air filter. It is located in the engine
compartment, on the passenger's side, under
the air inlet grille.
The filter traps most of the pollen from air entering
the climate control system. Like the engine's air
cleaner/filter, it may need to be changed
periodically to ensure system performance. For
information on how often to change the passenger
compartment air filter, see Scheduled Maintenance
on page 406.
To change the passenger compartment air filter,
use the following steps:
1. Turn off the ignition when the windshield
wipers are in the up position.
2. Raise the vehicle hood.
3. Disconnect the windshield washer pump hose
from the fender rail and air inlet grille.
4. Peel back the hood weatherstrip from the
passenger's side of the vehicle halfway
to center.
5. Remove the air inlet grille retainers.
6. Remove the air inlet grille.
7. Remove the water deflector plate.
8. Remove the old passenger compartment
air filter.
9. Reverse the steps to install the new air filter.
For best climate control system performance,
be sure to re-install the air filter.
For the type of filter to use, see Normal
Maintenance Replacement Parts on page 416.
