Climate Controls 7-7
Maintenance
Passenger Compartment
Air Filter
The passenger compartment
air filter traps most of the dust
and pollen from the air entering
the vehicle. The filter will need
to be changed periodically.
See Maintenance Schedule on
page 10‑2.
Using the climate control system
without the passenger air filter
installed could let water or other
debris enter the system. This could
cause a water leak or noises. Make
sure a new air filter is installed after
removing the old one.
The passenger compartment air
filter is located under the hood
below the windshield wiper arm and
the screen on the passenger side
of the vehicle.
To replace the passenger
compartment air filter:
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with
the engine off.
2. Turn on the windshield wipers
and turn the ignition off again
when the wipers are straight up
on the windshield.
This allows access to the
leaf screen. The passenger
compartment air filter is located
under the screen.
3. Open the hood to access
the engine compartment.
See Hood on page 9‑4 for
more information.
4. Remove the three screws that
hold the screen in place and
lift off the screen by lifting and
sliding it toward the center of
the vehicle.
5. Pull out on the two tabs located
on each end of the filter cover.
6. Lift the filter cover off by pulling
it straight up.
7. Remove the old filter and insert
a new one.
See Maintenance Replacement
Parts on page 10‑8 for the
correct part number for the filter.
8. Reverse Steps 1 through 6 to
reinstall the cover.
