Air Conditioning Filter, Drive Belts
Air Conditioning Filter
The air conditioning filter removes pollen and dust 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 urbanareas that have high concentrationsof soot in the air from industry and
diesel-powered vehicles. Replace it
more often if air flow from the
heating and cooling system/climate control system becomes less than
usual. Have the air conditioning filter
replaced by your Honda dealer.
