Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Passenger compartment air is routed through
a passenger compartment lter. The lter removes
certain particles from the air, including pollen
and dust particles. Reductions in airow, which
may occur more quickly in dusty areas, indicate
that the lter needs to be replaced early.
The lter should be replaced as part of routine
scheduled maintenance. SeeScheduled
Maintenance on page 391for replacement
intervals. See your retailer for details on changing
the lter. To nd out what type of lter to use,
seeNormal Maintenance Replacement Parts on
page 404.To access the passenger compartment air lter
you must go through the glove box.
1. Open the glove box and remove all articles
from the inside.
2. Locate the doorstop insulators on each side of
the glove box and remove them.
3. Tilt the glove box door down by squeezing on
each side of the glove box until the door can
be lowered from its track. Lower the glove
box door completely.

(c)Visually inspect hoses and have them replaced
if they are cracked, swollen, or deteriorated.
Inspect all pipes, ttings, and clamps; replace with
genuine Saturn parts as needed. To help ensure
proper operation, a pressure test of the cooling
system and pressure cap and cleaning the outside
of the radiator and air conditioning condenser is
recommended at least once a year.
(d)Visually inspect wiper blades for wear or
cracking. Replace wiper blades that appear worn
or damaged or that streak or miss areas of
the windshield.
(e)Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all
your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, and
anchorages are working properly. Look for
any other loose or damaged safety belt system
parts. If you see anything that might keep a safety
belt system from doing its job, have it repaired.
Have any torn or frayed safety belts replaced. Also
look for any opened or broken airbag coverings,
and have them repaired or replaced. The
airbag system does not need regular maintenance.(f)Lubricate all key lock cylinders, door hinges
and latches, hood hinges and latches, glove box
hinges, sunroof (if the vehicle has one), and
any folding seat hardware. More frequent
lubrication may be required when exposed to a
corrosive environment. Applying silicone grease on
weatherstrips with a clean cloth will make them
last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak.
(g)Check system for interference or binding
and for damaged or missing parts. Replace parts
as needed. Replace any components that
have high effort or excessive wear. Do not
lubricate accelerator or cruise control cables.
(h)Change automatic transaxle uid and lter if
the vehicle is mainly driven under one or more of
these conditions:
In heavy city traffic where the outside
temperature regularly reaches 90°F (32°C)
or higher.
In hilly or mountainous terrain.
When doing frequent trailer towing.
Uses such as found in taxi, police, or delivery
service.
