Dust and Pollen Filter, Wiper Blades Dust and Pollen Filter On models with A/C This filter removes the dust and pollen that is brought in from the outside through the heating and cooling system. Have your dealer replace the filter when this service is indicated by a maintenance message on the information display. 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, or if the flow from the heating and cooling system becomes less than usual. Wiper Blades Check the condition of the wiper blades at least every six months. Replace them if you find signs of cracking in the rubber, areas that are getting hard, or if they leave streaks and unwiped areas when used. To replace a wiper blade: 1. Raise each wiper arm off the windshield, lifting the driver's side first, then the passenger's side. Maintenance Do not open the hood when the wiper arms are raised, or you will damage the hood and wiper arms. CONTINUED 321
