WARNING!
Do not remove the A/C air filter while
the blower is operating or personal in-
jury may result.
The A/C air filter is located in the fresh air inlet behind
the glove box. Perform the following steps to replace
the filter:
1. Open the glove box and remove all contents.
2. Push the retaining tab on each side of the glove box
inward while gently pulling the glove box door
outward until both tabs clear the door opening in
the instrument panel. (fig. 166)
3. Pivot the glove box downward.
4. Disengage the two retaining tabs that secure the
filter cover to the HVAC housing and remove the
cover. (fig. 167)
5. Remove the A/C air filter by pulling it straight out of
the housing.
6. Install the A/C air filter with the arrow on the filter
pointing toward the floor. When installing the filter
cover, make sure the retaining tabs fully engage the
cover.
The A/C air filter is identified with an
arrow to indicate airflow direction
through the filter. Failure to install the
filter properly will result in the need to replace it
more often.
