To replace the filter, perform the following procedure:
1. In order to gain better access to the filter, turn the ignition key to ON,
then turn the wipers on. When the wipers reach the middle of the
windshield (wipers in straight up position), turn the ignition to OFF.
2. Release and open the hood.
3. Pull the rubber cowl seal
(number 1 in figure) away from the
cowl vent screen. Remove the right
half of the cowl vent screen
(number 2 in figure) by placing your
hand underneath the cowl vent
screen and lifting straight up to
release the four spring clips.
4. Remove the water shield (number
3 in figure) by disengaging the two
water shield locking tabs (number 4
in figure), then sliding the water
shield toward the front of the
vehicle. After the locking tabs are
disengaged from the water shield,
lift the water shield up and away
from the vehicle.
