WHAT IS THE CABIN AIR
FILTER
The cabin air filter improves the quality of
air in your vehicle by trapping dust, pollen
and other particles.
LOCATING THE CABIN AIR
FILTER
You can locate the cabin air filter behind
the glove box.
REPLACING THE CABIN AIR
FILTER
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 446).
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.
Note: Using an aftermarket cabin air filter
could reduce cabin air filtration and climate
control performance.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
We recommend that you wash your vehicle
with a sponge and lukewarm water
containing a car shampoo.
Note: If you use a car wash with a waxing
cycle, make sure that you remove the wax
from the windshield and the wiper blades.
Note: Before using a car wash, check that
it is suitable for your vehicle.
Note: Some car washes use water at high
pressure. Due to this, water droplets may
enter inside your vehicle and could also
damage certain parts of your vehicle.
Note: Remove the antenna before using an
automatic car wash.
Note: Switch the blower motor off to
prevent contamination of the cabin air filter.
Cleaning the Headlamps
Note: Do not scrape the headlamps.
Note: Do not use abrasives, alcoholic
solvents or chemical solvents to clean the
headlamps. Note:
Do not wipe the headlamps when
they are dry.
Cleaning the Rear Window
Note: Do not scrape the inside of the rear
window.
Note: Do not use abrasives, alcoholic
solvents or chemical solvents to clean the
inside of the rear window.
Clean the inside of the rear window with a
soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive
cleaner
Cleaning the Chrome Trim
Note: Do not use abrasives, alcoholic
solvents or chemical solvents to clean the
chrome trim. Use soapy water.
Dry the chrome trim with a clean, soft cloth
Note: Do not apply cleaning product to hot
surfaces and do not leave cleaning product
on chrome surfaces for a period of time
exceeding that which is recommended.
Note: Industrial-strength (heavy-duty)
cleaners, or cleaning chemicals, may cause
damage over a period of time.
