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
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passenger
compartment air filter. The filter is located under the
instrument panel below the glove compartment.
To replace the passenger compartment air filter:
1. If your vehicle is equipped with a panel under the
center of the instrument panel, remove the bolts on it
to remove the panel. Because this operation can be a
little difficult, you may choose to have it done at
your dealer service department.
2. If your vehicle does not
have a panel under the
center of the instrument
panel, or when the panel
is removed, reach under
the instrument panel
towards the front of the
vehicle and pull
downward on the filter
retaining bracket.
