Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Passenger compartment air, both outside air and
recirculated air, is routed through a passenger
compartment filter. The filter removes certain particles
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.
The filter should be replaced as part of routine
scheduled maintenance. See Scheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4 for replacement intervals. See your
retailer for details on changing the filter. To find out
what type of filter to use, see Normal Maintenance
Replacement Parts on page 6-16.
To access the passenger compartment air filter you
must go through the glove box.
1. Open the glove box and remove all articles from the
inside.
2. Locate the doorstop insulators on each side of the
glove box and remove them.
3. Tilt the glove box door down by squeezing on each
side of the glove box until the door can be lowered
from its track. Lower the glove box door completely.
