Operation Tips
·
Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that may
block the ¯ow of air into your vehicle.
·Use of non-GM approved hood de¯ectors may
adversely affect the performance of the system.
·Keep the area around the base of the instrument
panel console and air path under the seats clear
of objects to help circulate the air inside of
your vehicle more effectively.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air ®lter removes certain
odor and particles from the air including pollen and dust
particles. Reductions in air¯ow, which may occur
more often in dusty areas, indicate that the ®lter may
need to be replaced early.
The ®lter should be replaced as part of the routine
scheduled maintenance. See
Scheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4for more information.
The passenger compartment air ®lter is located on the
passenger's side of the engine compartment near
the battery. See
Engine Compartment Overview on
page 5-12for more information on location.
To check or replace the air ®lter, do the following:
1. With the hood open, unlatch and remove the access
panel.
2. Pull the old ®lter out of the housing.
3. Insert the new ®lter into the housing. The ®lter
should be fully inserted with the arrows pointing up.
4. Reinstall the air ®lter access panel.

Engine Oil
If the LOW OIL LEVEL or LOW OIL PRESSURE
message on the Driver Information Center appears, it
means you need to check your engine oil level right
away. For more information, see ªLOW OIL LEVELº and
ªLOW OIL PRESSUREº under
DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-57.You should check your engine oil level regularly; this is
an added reminder.
Checking Engine Oil
It is a good idea to check your engine oil every time you
get fuel. In order to get an accurate reading, the oil
must be warm and the vehicle must be on level ground.
The engine oil dipstick handle is a yellow loop. See
Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12for
the location of the engine oil dipstick.
Turn off the engine and give the oil several minutes to
drain back into the oil pan. If you don't, the oil
dipstick might not show the actual level.
Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel or
cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove it again,
keeping the tip down, and check the level.

Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 5-12for
location of engine air cleaner/®lter.
When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
Inspect the air cleaner/®lter at every oil change and
replace at the ®rst oil change after 25,000 miles
(40 000 km).
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.To inspect or replace the ®lter, do the following:
1. Flip the clasps on the top of the engine air
cleaner/®lter cover forward to unlatch the cover.
2. Lift the front of the cover at an angle and remove.
This is necessary due to the four tabs located on
the rear of the cover.
3. Remove the engine air cleaner/®lter element and
any loose debris that may be found in the air
cleaner base.
4. Replace the air ®lter element.
