The driver’s HVAC unit is located behind the
dashboard’s R.H. side lateral plastic panel. To
gain access to the A/C filters, unscrew the R.H.
lateral console’s grill located at the top step of
the entrance door steps. Slide out the R/A and
F/A filters. To clean filters back flush with water,
then dry with air, every 12,000 miles (20 000
km) or once a year, which-ever comes first (Fig.

NOTE
If the windshield is continuously fogged, check
that the driver’s air filter is not clogged.
