CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air
filter. It is located behind the center
console.
If your vehicle has rear climate control. The
cabin air filter is under the driver seat.
The particulate filtration system reduces
the concentration of airborne particles
such as dust, spores and pollen in the air
supplied to the interior of your vehicle.
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system. The particulate filtration system gives you
and your passengers the following
benefits:
•
It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
Replace the filter element at regular
intervals. See Replacement Parts
Recommendation (page 14).
For additional cabin air filter information,
or to replace the filter element, see an
authorized dealer.
