CABIN AIR FILTER
The cabin air filter is under the instrumentpanel in the passenger footwell area orunder the center console on the passengerside.
The system filters airborne particles such asdust, spores and pollen in the air supplied toand recirculated in the interior of yourvehicle.
Make sure you have a cabin air filter installedat all times. Running the system without afilter in place could degrade or damage thesystem.
Your vehicle cabin air filter gives you andyour passengers the following benefits:
•It improves your driving comfort byreducing particle concentration.
•It improves the interior compartmentcleanliness.
•It protects the climate controlcomponents from particle deposits.
Change the air filter element at the properintervals. See Scheduled Maintenance(page 487).
For additional cabin air filter information, orto replace the filter, see an authorized dealer.
