Outlet Adjustment
Use the louvers located on the air outlets to
change the direction of the airow.
Operation Tips

Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the
air inlets at the base of the vehicle that may
block the ow of air into your vehicle.
Do not use any non-GM approved hood
deectors that could adversely affect the
performance of the system.
Keep the path under the front seats clear of
objects to help circulate the air inside of
your vehicle more effectively.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The 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.The lter should be replaced as part of routine
scheduled maintenance. SeeScheduled
Maintenance on page 420for replacement
intervals. To nd out what type of lter to use,
seeNormal Maintenance Replacement Parts
on page 434.
The passenger compartment air lter can be
accessed from under the hood.
1. Remove the push
pins from the air
lter access panel.
2. Remove the air lter access panel.

What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that can
be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause
cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very
long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly
dispose of clothing or rags containing used engine
oil. See the manufacturer’s warnings about the use
and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil
from the lter before disposal. Never dispose
of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the
ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of
water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place
that collects used oil. If you have a problem
properly disposing of used oil, ask your
dealer/retailer, a service station, or a local
recycling center for help.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 314
for the location of the engine air cleaner/lter.
When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
Inspect the air cleaner/lter at the MaintenanceII
intervals and replace it at the rst oil change
after each 50,000 mile (83 000 km) interval. See
Scheduled Maintenance on page 420for more
information. If you are driving in dusty/dirty
conditions, inspect the lter at each engine
oil change.
How to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
To inspect the air cleaner/lter remove the lter
from the vehicle and lightly shake the lter to
release loose dust and dirt. If the lter remains
caked with dirt, a new lter is required.
