Passenger Compartment Air Filter Your vehicle is equipped with a passenger compartment air filter. The filter is located under the instrument panel below the glove compartment. To replace the passenger compartment air filter do the following: 1. If your vehicle is equipped with an access panel, remove the bolts on it and set the panel aside. Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have it done at your dealer's service department. If your vehicle does not have an access panel, skip this step. 2. Reach under the instrument panel towards the front of the vehicle and 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. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to replace the passenger compartment air filter. See "Scheduled Maintenance" in the Index. 6-20
