Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Passenger compartment air, both outside air and
recirculated air, is routed through a passenger
compartment filter, which is part of a three piece filter
system. 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 particle filter is located inside the air control
module with an access panel underneath the instrument
panel near the accelerator pedal. The filter should be
replaced as part of routine scheduled maintenance. See
“Maintenance Schedule” in the Index for replacement
intervals. See your dealer for details on changing
the filter.
Once you remove your filter, if you choose not to
replace it, it will not damage your vehicle.
However, the air will no longer be filtered.
