The odor and particulate air filtration system is designed to reduce the
concentration of objectionable exterior odors as well as airborne particles
such as dust, spores and pollen in the air being supplied to the interior
of the vehicle. The extent of EXTERIOR odor reduction depends on the
odor itself and the perceptional threshold of the individual. The odor and
particulate filtration system gives the following benefits to customers:
• Improves the customer’s driving comfort by reducing odor and particle
concentration
• Improves the interior compartment cleanliness
• Protects the climate control components from particle deposits
The filter is located just in front of the windshield under the cowl grille
on the passenger side of the vehicle.
To replace the filter, perform the following procedure:
1. Remove both windshield wiper
arms.
• Lift the wiper arm away from the
windshield surface until the wiper
arm is perpendicular to the
windshield surface.
• Rotate the small retaining clip at
the base of the wiper arm
counterclockwise while holding
the wiper arm.
• Lift and remove the wiper arm
while holding the retaining clip
outward. Note the LH and RH
wiper arms.
