CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER
Filter inspection
The climate control air filter should
be replaced according to the
Maintenance Schedule. If the vehicle
is operated in severely air-polluted
cities or on dusty rough roads for a
long period, it should be inspected
more frequently and replaced earlier.
When you replace the climate control
air filter, replace it performing the fol-
lowing procedure, and be careful to
avoid damaging other components.
Filter replacement
1. Open the glove box.2. Remove the climate control air fil-ter cover while pressing the lock
on the right side of the cover.
3. Push the right side of the climate control air filter and pull the cli-
mate control air filter out.

air filter install it properly. Otherwise,
the system may produce noise and
the effectiveness of the filter may be
reduced.
