Air Conditioning Filter On U.S. LX and EX models, and LX model in Canada Replacement HOOKS COVER The air conditioning filter removes pollen and dust that is brought in from the outside through the heating and cooling system. This filter should be replaced every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) under normal conditions. It should be replaced every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) if you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry and diesel-powered vehicles. Replace it more often if air flow from the heating and cooling system becomes less than usual. TAB The air conditioning filter is located behind the glove box. To replace it: 1. Open the glove box. Remove the hooks on the side panels by pulling out on the tabs. Pivot the glove box out of the way. 2. Remove the air conditioning filter cover by pushing in on the lock tab, then pulling the cover toward you. CONTINUED Maintenance 235
