Replace the element according to
the Scheduled Maintenance Section.If the vehicle is operated in extreme-
ly dusty or sandy areas, replace theelement more often than the usualrecommended intervals. (Refer toSevere Maintenance Schedule inthis section.)
AIR CONDITIONER AIR FILTERThe air conditioner air filter located
between the evaporator core and
blower filters the air coming into the
vehicle.
If dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the filter for a period of time, the air
flow from the air vents may be
decreased and the dust intake may
increase. Therefore the air filter
should be replaced at the intervals
shown in the maintenance schedule.
Especially if the vehicle is operated
in dusty or sandy areas, replace the
filter more often than the recom-
mended intervals.
Filter replacement1. Open the glove box part way, reach inside and pull out the elas-
tic line and push the retaining clip
through the hole in the rear of the
glove box. Allow the glove box to
open.
CAUTION
 Do not drive with the air clean-er removed; this will result inexcessive engine wear.
 Driving without an air cleaner encourages backfiring, whichcould cause a fire in theengine compartment.
 When removing the air cleaner element, be careful that dustor dirt does not enter the airintake, or damage may result.
