Passenger Compartment Air Filter
This vehicle has a passenger compartment
particulate air filter. It is located underneath the
hood just below the windshield wiper arm on
the passenger’s side of the vehicle, under the air
inlet grille.
The filter traps most of the pollen from air entering
the Climate Control System. Like your engine’s
air cleaner/filter, it may need to be changed
periodically to ensure system performance. For
information on how often to change the passenger
compartment air filter, see Scheduled Maintenance
on page 410.
To change the passenger compartment air filter,
use the following steps:
1. Turn off the ignition when the windshield
wipers are in the up position.
2. Raise the vehicle hood.
3. Peel back the hood weatherstrip from the
passenger’s side of the vehicle halfway to
center.
4. Remove the air inlet grille retainers.
5. Lift the air inlet grille and disconnect the
washer hose at the quick-connect.
6. Remove the air inlet grille.
7. Remove the water deflector plate.
8. Remove the old passenger compartment
air filter.
9. Reverse the steps to install the new air filter.
For best climate control system performance,
be sure to re-install the air filter.
For the type of filter to use, see Normal
Maintenance Replacement Parts on page 421.
