Changing In-cabin MicrofilterELS0022D
1. Remove the glove box assembly. Refer to IP-10, "INSTRUMENT PANEL ASSEMBLY" .
2. Compress the air conditioner filter (1) downward while sliding it
to the RH side of the vehicle to release the upper pawl.
3. Move the bottom of air conditioner filter (1) upward as shown to
release the bottom tab, then remove it.
4. Replace the air conditioner filter with new one and install the
new filter in the A/C unit assembly.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the air conditioner filter lower tab is fully
seated, and that the air conditioner upper pawl is locked
into place securing the new filter into the A/C unit assem-
bly.
Checking Exhaust SystemELS0021U
Check the exhaust pipes, muffler, and exhaust mounts for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, chafing, or deterioration.
Checking CVT FluidELS0021V
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).
1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle to warm up the
CVT fluid. When ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F), it takes
about 10 minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 to 80°C
(122 to 176°F).
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
4. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move the
selector lever throughout the entire shift range and return it to
the “P” position.
5. Press the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to release the lock
and pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charg-
ing pipe.
