Air Conditioning Filter Replacement (Cabin Air
Filter)
WARNING!
Do not remove the cabin air filter while the vehicle is
running, or while the ignition is in the ACC or ON/
RUN mode. With the cabin air filter removed and the
blower operating, the blower can contact hands and
may propel dirt and debris into your eyes, resulting in
personal injury.
The cabin air filter is located in the fresh air inlet behind the
glove compartment. Perform the following procedure to
replace the filter:
1. Remove all contents from the glove compartment. 2. Open the glove compartment door partially, leaving
extra slack on the glove compartment tension tether.
Detach the glove compartment tension tether by sliding
the black tension tether clip down, and popping it out of
the slot on the side of the glove compartment door.
3. There are glove compartment travel stops on either side of the glove compartment door. To release them, push

inward on each travel stop, and pull the glove compart-
ment door down until the travel stops pass clear of their
hooking points.
4. Open the glove compartment door as far as possible to gain access to the cabin air filter compartment cover.
5. Pry up the lid of each individual compartment snap, and detach it from the rest of the snap. There is a small
space on the side of each snap to use for separating the lid from the snap. Once detached, remove the rest of the
snap completely from the compartment cover.
6. After removing the snaps, lift up the compartment cover to gain access to the fresh air inlet.
7. Remove the filter cover by prying back each of the retaining tabs from their hooking points, and then

pulling out the filter cover to expose the cabin air filter.
Remove the air filter by pulling it straight out of the
housing.
8. Install the new air filter with the arrow on the filter pointing toward the floor.
CAUTION!
The cabin air filter is identified with an arrow to
indicate airflow direction through the filter. Failure to
properly install the filter will result in the need to
replace it more often.
9. Once the filter is replaced, reinstall the filter cover, making sure the retaining tabs are fully secured into
their housings.
10. Close the cabin air filter compartment cover, and reinsert the snaps into their slots. Push the snap lids
until fully attached.
11. Push the glove compartment door to the near closed position to reengage the glove compartment travel
stops. Finally, pull the glove compartment tension
tether clip down and slide it back into the slot on the
side of the glove compartment door.
Body Lubrication
Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as
seat tracks, door hinge pivot points and rollers, liftgate,
tailgate, decklid, sliding doors and hood hinges, should be
lubricated periodically with a lithium based grease, such as
Mopar Spray White Lube to assure quiet, easy operation
and to protect against rust and wear. Prior to the applica-
tion of any lubricant, the parts concerned should be wiped
clean to remove dust and grit; after lubricating excess oil
and grease should be removed. Particular attention should
also be given to hood latching components to ensure
proper function. When performing other underhood ser-
vices, the hood latch, release mechanism and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a
year, preferably in the Fall and Spring. Apply a small
amount of a high quality lubricant, such as Mopar Lock
Cylinder Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder.
