Changing In-cabin MicrofilterINFOID:0000000004215537
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1. Remove the glove box assembly from the instrument panel. Refer to IP-17, "Removal and Installation".
2. Remove the screw and remove the in-cabin microfilter cover as shown.
3. Remove the two in-cabin microf ilters from the front heater and
cooling unit assembly housing.
4. Insert the first new in-cabin micr ofilter into the front heater and
cooling unit assembly housing and slide it over to the right.
Insert the second new in-cabin mi crofilter into the front heater
and cooling unit assembly housing as shown.
NOTE:
The in-cabin microfilters are marked with air flow arrows. The
end of the microfilter with the arro w should face the rear of the
vehicle. The arrows should point downward.
5. Install the in-cabin microfilter cover.
6. Install the glove box assembly in the instrument panel. Refer to IP-17, "
