REPLACEMENT TIMING
Replacement of the two air conditioner filters is recommended on a regular interval depending on the driving
conditions. Refer toMA-8, "
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE". It may also be necessary to replace the two air con-
ditioner filters as part of a component replacement if the air conditioner filters are damaged.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1. Remove the RH lower dash side finisher. Refer toEI-33, "BODY SIDE TRIM".
2. Remove the front pillar lower finisher. Refer toEI-33, "
BODY SIDE TRIM".
3. Remove the lower glove box.
a. Remove the two lower glove box lower screws.
b. Open the lower glove box, then remove the two lower glove box
upper screws.
c. Disconnect the two upper clips and remove the lower glove box
