Passenger Compartment Air
Filter Replacement
Passenger compartment air, both outside air 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. 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 "Maintenance
Schedule'' in the Index.
