Note:To reduce humidity build-up insideyour vehicle, do not drive with the systemswitched off or with recirculated air alwaysswitched on.
Note:Do not place objects under the frontseats as this may interfere with the airflowto the rear seats.
Note:Remove any snow, ice or leaves fromthe air intake area at the base of thewindshield.
Note:To improve the time to reach acomfortable temperature in hot weather,drive with the windows open until you feelcold air through the air vents.
Note:Clean the inside glass surfacesregularly using recommended glass cleaner.Small dirt particles on the glass mayincrease the incidence of fog.

CABIN AIR FILTER
The cabin air filter is under the instrumentpanel in the passenger footwell area.
The system filters airborne particles suchas dust, spores and pollen in the airsupplied to and recirculated in the interiorof your vehicle.
Make sure you have a cabin air filterinstalled at all times. Running the systemwithout a filter in place could degrade ordamage the system.
Your vehicle cabin air filter gives you andyour passengers the following benefits:
•It improves your driving comfort byreducing particle concentration.
•It improves the interior compartmentcleanliness.
•It protects the climate controlcomponents from particle deposits.
Change the air filter element at the properintervals.
For additional cabin air filter information,or to replace the filter, see an authorizeddealer.
