Maintenance
Passenger Compartment
Air Filter
The vehicle has a passenger
compartment particulate air filter.
It is located in the engine
compartment, below the air inlet
grille on the passenger side.
The filter traps most of the pollen
from air entering the climate control
system. It needs to be changed
periodically to ensure system
performance. For information on
how often to change the passenger
compartment air filter, see
