To change the passenger compartment air filter, do the following: 1. Turn the ignition to ACC and the windshield wipers on. 2. Turn the ignition to OFF when the windshield wipers are in the upright position. 3. Raise the hood. 4. Disconnect the windshield washer pump hose from the fender rail and the air inlet grille. 5. Remove the hood weather-strip from the passenger's side of the vehicle, peeling it back halfway. 7. Remove the air inlet grille by sliding it down to disengage the two tabs that hold it to the bottom of the windshield glass. Place the grille on the windshield while you remove the filter. Do not try to remove the grille from the vehicle because it is still attached on the right side by a fastener. 6. Remove the two air inlet grille retainers using a flat tool to first pry up on the center post and then the remainder of the fastener can be pulled out. 8. Remove the passenger compartment air filter by pulling on the tab. 9. Install a new passenger compartment air filter. Make sure it slides under the compartment retainers. Be sure the long rubber water deflector above the filter stays in place. 10. Reverse steps 1 through 7. 3-34
