passenger compartment air filter
replacement may be needed if
driving in areas with heavy traffic,
poor air quality, high dust levels,
or environmental allergens.
Passenger compartment air filter
replacement may also be needed if
there is reduced airflow, window

can help determine when to replace
the filter. (2)
Visually check all fuel and vapor

rear axle output seals. High
pressure water can overcome the
seals and contaminate the rear axle
fluid. Contaminated fluid will
decrease the life of the axle and
should be replaced.
