This filter removes the dust and
pollen that is brought in from the
outside through the heating and
cooling system/climate control
system.

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 airflow from the
heating and cooling system/climate
control system becomes less than
usual. Have the dust and pollen filter
replaced by your Honda dealer.
