the side vents. The side vents may be
opened or closed as shown.The air conditioning filter is behind the

ter long use. The filter may need to be
replaced if the air flow of the air condi-
tioning and heater experiences extreme
reductions in operating efficiency, or if
the windows begin to fog up easily in
FRESH mode.
To keep the air conditioning efficiency, re-
place the filter following the interval below;
U.S.A.—Every 22500 miles∗
Canada—Every 16000 km
∗: If you drive your vehicle on dusty roads
mostly, replace the filter every 10000
miles.

driver and slide off the damper as
