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 contaminants 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
carbon-treated 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 the Maintenance Schedule booklet
for replacement intervals. See your dealer for details
on changing the filter.
Your vehicle will not be damaged if
you choose not to
replace the filter once the old one is removed. However,
the air will no longer be filtered.
