3. Pivot the glove box downward.
4. Disengage the two retaining tabs that secure the

filter cover to the HVAC housing and remove the
cover. (fig. 177)

5. Remove the A/C air filter by pulling it straight out of

the housing.

6. Install the A/C air filter with the arrow on the filter

pointing toward the floor. When installing the filter
cover, make sure the retaining tabs fully engage the
cover.

The A/C air filter is identified with an
arrow to indicate airflow direction
through the filter. Failure to install the

filter properly will result in the need to replace it
more often.

7. Reinstall the glove box door. Make sure that the

hinges are seated fully as you raise the door. Other-
wise, the door latch will not align properly.
