CABIN AIR FILTER

Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air

filter. It is located behind the glove box.

The particulate filtration system reduces the

concentration of airborne particles such as

dust, spores and pollen in the air supplied to

the interior of your vehicle.

Note:

To prevent foreign objects from

entering the system, make sure the cabin air

is in place at all times. Running the system

without a filter in place could result in

degradation or damage to the system.

The particulate filtration system gives you

and your passengers the following benefits:

•

It improves your driving comfort by

reducing particle concentration.

•

It improves the interior compartment

cleanliness.

•

It protects the climate control

components from particle deposits.

Replace the filter at regular intervals.

See

Scheduled Maintenance

(page 478).

For additional cabin air filter information, or

to replace the filter, see an authorized dealer.
