CAUTION:
Operating the engine with the air cleaner/filter
off can cause you or others to be burned. The air
cleaner not only cleans the air, it stops flame if
the engine backfires. If it isn’t there, and the
engine backfires, you could be burned. Don’t
drive with it off, and be careful working on the
engine with the air cleaner/filter off.
NOTICE:
If the air cleaner/filter is off, a backfire can
cause a damaging engine fire. And, dirt can easily
get into your engine, which will damage it.
Always have the air cleaner/filter in place when
you’re driving.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air filter removes certain
particles from the air, including pollen and dust
particles. Reductions in airflow, which may occur more
often in dusty areas, indicate that the filter may need to
be replaced early.
The filter should be replaced as part of the routine
scheduled maintenance. See “Maintenance Schedule” in
the Index for more information.
The passenger compartment
air filter is located on the
passenger side at the base
of the windshield and can
be accessed through a
removable panel under the
hood of the vehicle. See
“Engine Compartment
Overview” in the Index
for more information
on location.
