CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air
filter, which gives you and your passengers
the following benefits:
• It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
You can locate the cabin air filter behind
the glove box.
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 452).
For additional cabin air filter information,
or to replace the filter, see an authorized
dealer.
REMOTE START

The system adjusts the interior
temperature depending on your chosen
settings during remote start.
You cannot adjust the climate control

previous settings. You can now make
adjustments. Some features may remain on if they turn
on during remote start:
•

• Heated mirrors.
• Heated rear window.
Note: If the passenger heated or cooled

You can adjust the default remote start
settings using the information display
controls. See
Information Displays
(page 89).
