Climate Controls 8-7 Maintenance Passenger Compartment Air Filter The passenger compartment air filter removes certain particles from the air including pollen and dust particles. Reductions in airflow, which may occur more often in dusty areas, indicate that the filter may need to be replaced. See Maintenance Schedule on page 11‑3. Notice: Driving without a passenger compartment air filter in place can cause water and small particles, like paper and leaves, to be pulled into your climate control system which may cause damage to it. Make sure you always replace the old filter with a new one. The passenger compartment air filter is located on the passenger side of the engine compartment near the battery. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 10‑8. To check or replace the air filter: 3. Remove the filter and install the new air filter. 4. Replace the filter cover. 5. Attach the retainer clips. 1. Remove the cover retainer clips (A) from the passenger compartment air filter cover. 2. Remove the cover.
