Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air filter is located in
the engine compartment below the air inlet grille, near
the passenger’s side windshield wiper arm. See
Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12.
The filter traps most of the pollen from the air entering
the air conditioning module. The filter needs to be
changed periodically to keep the air conditioning working
at its best. For information on how often to change
the passenger compartment air filter, see Scheduled
Maintenance on page 6-4.
To change the passenger compartment air filter, use the
following steps:
1. Turn the ignition to ACC/ACCESSORY and turn the
windshield wipers on.
2. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF when the windshield
wipers are in the upright position.
3. Raise the hood.
4. Disconnect the windshield washer pump hose from
the fender rail and air inlet grille.
5. Peel back the hood weather-strip from the
passenger’s side of the vehicle halfway to the center
of the hood.
6. Remove the three air inlet grille retainers.
7. Remove the air inlet grille.
8. Remove the water deflector panel.
