Air Conditioning Filter, Drive Belt

Air Conditioning Filter

The air conditioning filter removes

pollen and dust from outside air the

heating and cooling system brings

into the interior. It should be

replaced according to the time and

distance recommendations in the

maintenance schedule.

This filter should be replaced every

30,000 miles (48,000 km) under

normal conditions. It should be

replaced every 15,000 miles (24,000

km) if you drive primarily in urban

areas that have high concentrations

of soot in the air from industry and

diesel-powered vehicles. Replace it

more often if air flow from the

climate control system becomes less

than usual. Have the air conditioning

filter replaced by your Honda dealer.

Drive Belt

Check the condition of the drive belt.

Examine the edges of each belt for

cracks or fraying.

Check the tension of each belt by

pushing on it with your thumb

midway between the pulleys.

The belts should have the following

"play" or deflection.

With Air Conditioning System

0.30-0.41 in (7.5 10.5 mm)

Without Air Conditioning System

0.33-0.43 in (8.5-11.0 mm)

If you see signs of wear or looseness,

have your dealer adjust or replace

the belts.
