PERFORMANCE & MAINTENANCE
Opening the Vehicle Hood

under the driver’s side of the instrument
panel.
Under the leading edge of the hood
itself, push the secondary hood release
handle up and to the right. Lift the hood.

Passenger Compartment
Air Filter
The filter is located in the engine com-
partment below the air inlet grille, near
the passenger-side wiper arm. It traps
most of the pollen from the air that
enters the air conditioning module.
See your Owner Manual for scheduled
maintenance and replacement
instructions.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Accessory Power Outlets
Your vehicle is equipped with 12-volt
power outlets. One is located on the
center console below the climate con-
trols. The second outlet is located inside
the center storage console. On six-
passenger models, the second outlet is
located in the flip/fold console. Use them
to power cellular phones, CB radios, etc.
See your Owner Manual for full safety
and warranty cautions.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
