WARNING!
Do not remove the cabin air filter while the vehicle is

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

dure to replace the filter:
1. Open the glove compartment and remove all
contents.

release the glove compartment travel stop on one
side and repeat this procedure for the opposite side.
3. Pull the right hand side of the glove compartment
door toward the rear of the vehicle to disengage the
glove compartment door from its hinges.
NOTE:
When disengaging the glove compartment door
from its hinges, there will be some resistance.

glove compartment tension tether and tether clip by
sliding the clip toward the face of the glove compart-
ment door and lifting the clip out of glove compart-
ment door.
