7-4 Climate Controls Air Vents Use the air outlets located in the center and outboard sides of the instrument panel, to change the direction of the air flowing through the vents. Maintenance Passenger Compartment Air Filter Both outside and recirculated air are routed through a passenger compartment air filter. Pollen, dust particles and other contaminants are removed by the filter. Airflow reductions indicate that the filter needs to be replaced. For a replacement filter see your dealer/ retailer. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 10-3 for replacement intervals. The access panel for the air filter is behind the glove box. To replace the filter: Operation Tips • Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the outside air inlets at the base of the windshield. • Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors can adversely affect the performance of the system. • Keep the area under the front seats clear of objects for more effective air circulation. 1. Open the glove box door. Push each side of the glovebox in and pull out to remove. • If the airflow seems low when the fan is at the highest setting, the passenger compartment air filter might need to be replaced. For more information, see Passenger Compartment Air Filter on page 7-4.
