Passenger Compartment
Air Filter
The filter is located in the engine com-

maintenance and replacement
instructions.

Accessory Power Outlets
Your vehicle is equipped with 12-volt
power outlets. One is located on the
center console below the climate con-
trols. The second outlet is located inside
the center storage console. On six-
passenger models, the second outlet is
located in the flip/fold console. Use them
to power cellular phones, CB radios, etc.
See your Owner Manual for full safety
and warranty cautions.
