Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air filter removes certain
particles from the air, including pollen and dust particles.
Reductions in airflow, which may occur more often in
dusty areas, indicate that the filter may need to be
replaced early.
The filter should be replaced as part of the routine
scheduled maintenance. See “Maintenance Schedule”
in the Index for more information.
The passenger compartment
air filter is located on the
passenger side at the base
of the windshield and can
be accessed through a
removable panel under the
hood of the vehicle.
See “Engine Compartment
Overview” in the Index
for more information
on location.
To check or replace the air filter:
1. With the hood open, unlatch and remove the
access panel.
2. To remove the filter, press on the spring tab on
the side of the filter housing and pull the filter out of
the housing.
3. To install the new filter, press on the spring tab and
insert the filter into the housing. The filter should be
fully inserted into the upper and lower grooves and
locked into place by the spring tab.
4. Reinstall the air filter access panel at the base of
the windshield.
