Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Your 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, underneath the air inlet grille.
The filter traps most of the pollen from air entering the
climate control system. Like the 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 6-4.
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. Disconnect the windshield washer pump hose from
the fender rail and air inlet grille.
4. Peel back the hood weatherstrip from the
passenger’s side of the vehicle halfway to center.
5. Remove the air inlet grille retainers.
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 the type of filter to use, see Normal Maintenance
Replacement Parts on page 6-13.
