Air Filter
The filter reduces dust, pollen, and
other airborne irritants from outside
air that is pulled into the vehicle. The
filter should be replaced as part of
routine scheduled maintenance. See
Maintenance Schedule0330.
See your dealer regarding replacement
of the filter.
Service
This vehicle has the new
environmentally friendly refrigerant,
R1234yf. This refrigerant has a
significantly reduced global warming
impact on the environment, compared
to the traditional automotive
refrigerant, R-134a. All vehicles have a
label underhood that identifies the
refrigerant used in the vehicle.
The refrigerant system should only be
serviced by trained and certified
technicians. The air conditioning
evaporator should never be repaired or replaced by one from a salvage
vehicle. It should only be replaced by
a new evaporator to ensure proper
and safe operation.
During service, all refrigerants should
be reclaimed with proper equipment.
Venting refrigerants directly to the
atmosphere is harmful to the
environment and may also create
unsafe conditions based on inhalation,
combustion, frostbite, or other
health-based concerns.
