Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air lter removes certain
particles from the air including pollen and dust particles.
Reductions in air ow, which may occur more often in
dusty areas, indicate that the lter may need to be
replaced. SeeScheduled Maintenance on page 6-4for
information on how often to replace the lter.
Notice:Driving without a passenger compartment
air lter in place can cause water and small
particles, like paper and leaves, to be pulled into
your climate control system which may cause
damage to it. Make sure you always replace the old
lter with a new one.
The passenger compartment air lter is located on the
passenger side of the engine compartment near the
battery. SeeEngine Compartment Overview on
page 5-14.
