3-13 Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
air inside escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
The A/C button, below the mode knob, allows the air
coming into your vehicle to be cooled. This setting is
useful for normal cooling on hot days.
The recirculation button allows the air inside your
vehicle to be recirculated. This setting helps to
maximize your air conditioner's performance and your
vehicle's fuel economy. This setting also cools air the
fastest and can be used to keep unwanted odors and/or
dust from entering the vehicle. When using the air
conditioner, turn off the recirculation button after the
vehicle reaches a comfortable interior temperature.
When the right knob on the control panel is between
floor and defrost, the recirculation feature will not
function to reduce window fogging.When you use A/C with the recirculation button pushed
in, turn off recirculation as soon as the vehicle reaches a
comfortable interior temperature.
Maximum air conditioning performance is obtained by
pressing the A/C button, the recirculation button and
turning the temperature knob fully counterclockwise to
the blue area. This setting also cools air the fastest. After
the vehicle's interior reaches a comfortable temperature,
press the outside air button to place the air conditioning
system in the normal mode.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has air conditioning, it is equipped with
a passenger compartment air filter, which filters outside
air entering the vehicle. For information on replacing
the filter see ªPassenger Compartment Air Filterº in
the Index.

Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The engine air cleaner/filter assembly has an indicator
that lets you know when the air filter is dirty and needs
to be serviced. The indicator is located on the air cleaner
cover. See ªEngine Compartment Overviewº in the
Index for more information on location.
See ªOwner Checks and Servicesº in the Index to
determine when to check the indicator.
The service window A with
the percentage scale shows
the amount of engine air
cleaner/filter life used.
When both service
window A and service
window B turn orange,
replace the engine
air cleaner/filter.
After changing the air filter, press the top button on the
indicator to reset it.
Your engine air cleaner/filter is located in the front
corner of the engine compartment on the passenger's
side of the vehicle. See ªEngine Compartment
Overviewº in the Index for more information
on location.

1. To remove the engine/air cleaner filter, loosen the
screws on the housing cover.
2. Then lift the cover upward and remove the filter
from the housing. Care should be taken to dislodge
as little dirt as possible.
3. Clean the filter sealing surface and the filter housing.
4. Install the new filter.
5. Reinstall the housing cover.Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to
replace the air filter. See ªOwner Checks and Servicesº
in the Index.
CAUTION:
Operating the engine with the air cleaner/filter
off can cause you or others to be burned. The air
cleaner not only cleans the air, it stops flame if
the engine backfires. If it isn't there, and the
engine backfires, you could be burned. Don't
drive with it off, and be careful working on the
engine with the air cleaner/filter off.
NOTICE:
If the air cleaner/filter is off, a backfire can
cause a damaging engine fire. And, dirt can easily
get into your engine, which will damage it.
Always have the air cleaner/filter in place when
you're driving.

compartment air filter. The filter is located under the
instrument panel, below the glove compartment.
Your vehicle may or may not be equipped with an
access panel.
To replace the passenger compartment air filter, do
the following:
1. If your vehicle has an access panel, remove the bolts
on it and set the panel aside. If your vehicle does not
have the access panel, skip this step.
2. Next, pull
downward on the filter
retaining bracket.3. Remove the air filter by pulling downward on the
element. Remove the second portion of the air filter
by sliding it towards the rear of the vehicle and then
pulling downward.
4. Install the new filter by reversing the steps listed
previously. Be sure to follow any instructions that
may be included in the replacement filter package.
Because this procedure can be a little difficult,
you may choose to have it done at your dealer's
service department.
