IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
IN-CABIN MICROFILTERPFP:27277
Removal and InstallationEJS002D3
FUNCTION
The air inside the passenger compartment is filtered by the in-cabin
microfilters when the heater or A/C controls are set on either the
recirculation or fresh mode. The two in-cabin microfilters are located
in the front heater and cooling unit assembly. The rear heater and
cooling unit assembly only draws in air from the passenger compart-
ment to recirculate into the passenger compartment, so the rear
heater and cooling unit assembly is not equipped with in-cabin
microfilters.
REPLACEMENT TIMING
Replacement of the two in-cabin microfilters is recommended on a regular interval depending on the driving
conditions. Refer to MA-6, "
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE" . It may also be necessary to replace the two in-
cabin microfilters as part of a component replacement if the in-cabin microfilters are damaged.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1. Remove the two lower glove box hinge pins to remove the glove
box from the instrument panel and let it hang from the cord.
2. Remove the screw and remove the in-cabin microfilter cover.
3. Remove the in-cabin microfilters from the front heater and cool-
ing unit assembly housing.
4. Insert the first new in-cabin microfilter into the front heater and
cooling unit assembly housing and slide it over to the right.
Insert the second new in-cabin microfilter into the front heater
and cooling unit assembly housing.
NOTE:
The in-cabin microfilters are marked with air flow arrows. The
end of the microfilter with the arrow should face the rear of the
vehicle. The arrows should point downward.

TIRE PRESSURE

Pressure indication in psi on the screen indicates that the
pressure is being measured. After a few trips, the pressures for
all four tires will be displayed.

The order of tire pressure figures displayed on the screen does
not correspond with the actual order of tire position.

Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by
the vehicle's traveling condition and the temperature.

In case of low tire pressure, the low tire pressure warning light
will come on and/or a warning is displayed on the screen.

FLAT TIRE – very low tire pressure.
NOTE:

In a case of FLAT TIRE pressure, interrupt screen is not shown on the display.

On the screen of TIRE PRESSURE, "FLAT TIRE Check All tires" is displayed.
WARNING INDICATIONS
Warning signal (Door switch signal) is received from BCM through
